He was last seen wearing a blue Rab waterproof jacket, black thermal trousers and brown walking boots.

Sergeant Leigh Brown of Fort William Police Station said: “Neil did not return as planned from a walk in Glencoe and extensive search activity is now ongoing to locate him.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 3012 of March 6, 2022.”
