THE search for a Tain man is set to enter its second week.
Finn Creaney (32) was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, March 25 – one week ago.
The Highland division of Police Scotland has made a number of appeals to the public for help to trace him and the search effort has been supplemented by Assynt Mountain Rescue Team, coastguard air support and friends and well-wishers.
Finn was last seen on March 25 having been dropped off at Loch Naver, on the B873 public road in Sutherland, to start his planned walking route around the loch and south to Golspie.
Finn is described as 5ft 11, slim build, with light complexion and freckles on his arms and nose. He has long brown hair down to his lower back and a full brown beard.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, a knee-length brown leather jacket, dark coloured trousers, brown waterproof boots and was carrying a green rucksack.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Finn's wife Lucy thanked members of the public for their support.
She said: “I am really concerned for Finn as it has now been seven days since we last saw him.
“I want appeal to anyone who may have seen Finn since last Friday to call the police and ask anyone walking in the area and hills between Altnaharra and Golspie that they keep an eye out for Finn and keep him in their thoughts."
Inspector Alasdair Goskirk acknowledged concerns for Finn's welfare were growing.
He said: “I know our concerns are shared by locals and we are grateful for the assistance we have received so far.
“Anyone who may have seen Finn or has any information which could assist should call 101, quoting reference 0912 of March 28.”
