Police are appealing for sightings of a man who went missing on a Hebridean island.

Tamas Gador was reported missing today, Wednesday, after failing to arrive at his accommodation after embarking on a camping trip on Lewis.

Northern Constabulary said it was concerned for the welfare of Mr Gador, from Hungary, who was visiting the Stornoway area.

Police appealed for anyone with information or who might have seen him to contact them.

Mr Gador, who was visiting the Stornoway area over the weekend,  is described as 6ft (1.83m) tall, of slim build, with neck-length dark hair and with a beard but no moustache.
