Police are appealing to walkers in Moray to be on the lookout for a man who has been missing for two weeks.

Ian Bramald, 73, was last seen in an area south of Buckie on Wednesday 26 February.

Police are continuing to search for him, but asked outdoor enthusiasts for their help.

Inspector Colin Mowat of Police Scotland said: “We continue to search for Mr Bramald but it is now two weeks since he went missing and we are increasingly anxious to find him.

“On Thursday and Friday we will again be searching in the Buckie area assisted by specialist trained dogs.

“We have had an overwhelming response from the community in the area but we are specifically keen to hear from walkers and walking groups and ask that they remain vigilant to Mr Bramald being found in the area.

“We would like to remind people to remain aware of Mr Bramald and the clothing he was wearing when he was last seen. If anyone sees anything which they may feel is relevant to us please get in touch.”

Mr Bramald is described as about 5ft 10ins to 6ft (178 to 183cm) tall, with dark or greying hair which is receding on top.

When he was last seen he was wearing a short green waterproof jacket, corduroy trousers, a cap and glasses.

New posters of Mr Bramald featuring images of him wearing the clothes he had on when he was last seen have been distributed in the area.

Significant searches have been carried out without success. He was last seen in the area near Drybridge and Thornybank.

Insp Mowat added: “Anybody with any information regarding the whereabouts of Mr Bramald or who believes they may recognise his description is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
