Police Scotland is appealing for information from the public to locate a man from the Ross-shire area, who is considered to be a risk to the public.

Derek Ray Mackay (33), of Invergordon, has failed to comply with conditions of a court order.

He is described as 5 ft 8 in height, medium build, fair complexion, with short brown hair.

Detective Inspector Craig Still, said: "We want to trace Derek Mackay as quickly as possible and I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has information.

"I would like to reassure people that considerable and extensive efforts are being put into locating him and I would ask people not to approach Mr Mackay if you believe you have seen him. Instead please call Police Scotland on 101 as soon as you can."
