POLICE are searching for an “experienced walker and camper” reported missing from England and last seen on the Isle of Skye.
Officers said that 74-year-old Francis Johnson has not been seen in two weeks.
He left his home in Dorset on September 4 and travelled to the west coast of Scotland.
He was seen at the Glenbrittle campsite, on the south coast of Skye, on September 6.
However, Johnson has not been seen since then and his camping equipment and car are still at the site, police said.
Officers described the missing person as being 6-foot tall, of medium build, and with grey balding hair.
He is thought to have left the campsite on foot while wearing outdoor clothing, though the route he may have taken is not known.
Sergeant Graham Cameron, of Portree Police Station, said: “Francis is an experienced walker and plans his trips meticulously so it is out of character for him to be missing and not be in touch with family and friends.
“Concerns are growing for his welfare and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen him or knows where he might be.
“If you were out and about in the Glenbrittle area and may have seen him please get in touch. Likewise, if you have given a lift to anyone of his description.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact officers immediately on 101, quoting reference number 3266 of Monday, September 18, 2023.
