Graham's sister Sharon Bentley told the Daily Record the family are besides themselves with worry.
She added: "We are desperately seeking answers.
"We don't know what's happening and are really struggling to find out any information.
"The last contact he had was with his wife Mariely over a week ago.
"This is totally out of character for Graham.
"He would never go this long without being in contact with us.
"We are besides ourselves with worry and panicking that something bad has happened.
"We know how high the crime rate is in Jamaica and have heard bad stories about rogue taxi drivers."
Dad-of-one Graham flew into Norman Manley International Airport around 6:45 pm on October 14.
His embassy appointment was scheduled for the following morning, however his family are still trying to establish if he attended.
Sharon added: "We don't know if he made it to the British Embassy. We have no idea of his whereabouts when he left the airport.
"He was desperate to get to the appointment because this was last attempt to get Annabella a passport so her and Mariely could come to live with him in the Cayman Islands and so he could bring Annabella home to visit my mum in Scotland.
"He would not have missed that appointment deliberately."
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office have been contacted for comment.
