Frantic search launched for missing man after car discovered near Scots loch

A frantic search has been launched for a missing man after his car was discovered near a Scots loch.

James Clacher, from Bellshill, was last seen in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, at around 4pm on Monday, May 30.

The 53-year-old's black Suzuki Swift has since been found at the Loch Long car park in the Arrochar area in Argyll.

Police say their enquiries are ongoing to establish his subsequent movements and they are appealing for information.

James is described as being 5ft 6in tall, of athletic build and bald.

He was possibly wearing grey cargo style trousers, a black jacket and black trainers.

Sergeant Kenny Gilroy of Coatbridge Police Station said: “We are concerned for James’s welfare and would urge anyone with information or who believes they may have seen him to get in touch.

“This includes anyone who may have heard from him in his home area of Lanarkshire or anyone who has been in the area of Loch Long and believes they may have seen him.

“If you can help please call 101, quoting 0985 of May 31.”
