Concern is growing for a missing Scots man last seen over one week ago.
Mark Russell was reported missing from his home in Crimond, Aberdeenshire, on Wednesday July 28.
The 45-year-old was last seen on the afternoon of Saturday July 24 and hasn't been in contact with his friends or family since.
Mark is described as being white, 5ft 11ins in height and of medium build with short, brown hair.
He has a piercing to his left eyebrow, tattoos on both arms and has both ears pierced.
Chief Inspector Jamie Harrison, Area Commander for North Aberdeenshire, said: “As time passes, we are becoming increasingly concerned for Mark’s safety and wellbeing.
"Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries and searches to trace him in and around the Crimond area, however we have not yet managed to locate him.
"Local officers have been assisted by specialist search advisors.
“We have received details of other potential sightings of Mark which we are working to establish if they are indeed him.
"We know that he has close links to the Peterhead area and we have been liaising with our colleagues in that area to establish if he has travelled there.
“I would urge anyone with any information regarding Mark’s whereabouts, or anyone who has seen him to contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 1960 of 28 July.”
