Cops carry out drone searches to find missing Highlands man who vanished over a week ago

Police have carried out a coastline drone search in the hunt for missing Kyle of Lochalsh man Gordon Buchan who vanished over a week ago.

Concerns are growing for the welfare of the 56-year-old who was reported missing from the Highland village on March 2.

He was last spotted on CCTV at the Co-op supermarket in Broadford at around 6.30pm the day before.

Officers later discovered Gordon's car, a light blue Citroen C4, parked outside the Taste of India restaurant in Kyleakin, the Isle of Skye.

Investigators revisited the scene of the discovery of a car a week after his disappearance in a bid to jog people ’s memories.

Inspector Lynda Allan said: “We are releasing these further two images in the hope that they might jog the memory of someone who may have seen Gordon, or might be able to help in this missing person investigation .

"Extensive searches have been ongoing and I am grateful to all those who have been involved in them over the past few days.

"Clearly Gordon’s family are extremely concerned for his welfare and we have been supporting them through this very difficult time.

"We are also asking anyone who may have travelled along the A87 road between Broadford and Kyle of Lochalsh, on Sunday evening or Monday morning, in a vehicle which may have been fitted with a dash-cam, to come forward in order that we may examine any footage for anything which might assist us.

"Anyone who may have any information which might assist should call police on the 101 number, quoting incident 1739 of 2 March."
