Finn Creaney's family continue desperate appeal as rescue teams ramp up search for missing walker
04.04.2022 - 16:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The family of Finn Creaney have continued their desperate appeal for information 10 days on from the missing Scots hillwalker's disappearance.
Finn, 32, was last seen at around 2.15pm on Friday, March 25, having been dropped off at Loch Naver, on the B873 public road in Sutherland.
The keen hiker was due to walk around the loch and south to Golspie - but the dad-of-one hasn't been seen since.
We previously told how Finn's wife Lucy said the past week has been 'a really worrying time' for her and their four-year-old daughter Luna.
This morning Lucy shared a family appeal asking residents in the Sutherland and Caithness areas to continue the search.
They asked locals to check outbuildings and share pictures of Finn with anyone living in the area.
The post from sister-in-law Heidi Sews said: "Please share these photos with anyone living in the Sutherland and Caithness/Northern areas. (Highlands of Scotland). Also with the locals without internet.
"You may have seen him walking somewhere along roads or hill paths. Please check your outbuildings.
"Ask the gamekeepers, the farmers, crofters, estate owners.
"He was wearing a long dark green/brown leather jacket, possibly wearing a green hooded poncho over it, brown boots and a green rucksack. He has no dogs with him and is travelling alone."
Since his disappearance helicopter teams and rescue dogs have been deployed to help with the search.
Pictures posted from the Assynt Mountain Rescue Team over the weekend showed crews out on the hills in snowy conditions.
In a post on Facebook, they said: "On Monday, March 28, Assynt MRT were tasked by Police Scotland to search for an overdue walker, Finn Creaney between North side of Loch Naver and Golspie.
