The walker went missing after heading for Buachaille Etive Mòr

A major search was continuing today for a walker who is missing on a Glencoe mountain.

The man, who is in his 60s, did not return from a trip on Tuesday and four rescue teams began a search for the walker yesterday.

The hunt for the walker, who police say is from Scotland but is not a local, resumed today, with Glencoe, Lochaber, Oban and the RAF Mountain Rescue Teams taking part in the search on Buachaille Etive Mòr.

Members of the Search and Rescue Dogs Association and Police Scotland’s Highland and Islands division dog section are also helping look for the missing walker.

Police are appealing for any walkers who have been in the area in the past two days and who may have any information about the man, who was carrying a red rucksack, to contact them on 101.
