THE father of an Easter Ross man posted missing more than seven months ago has made a heartfelt appeal for help finding his son.
Finn Creaney (32), of the Tain area, was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, March 25 at Altnaharra in Sutherland near Loch Naver.
The married father of one, an experienced bushcraft enthusiast, was then posted missing on March 28 after failing to turn up.
Dad Mark shared a video appeal for people to keep Finn in their hearts and minds and offered thanks for support to date in the search to find him.
He said: "Finn's been missing for over six months now."
He said friends have regularly joined him for up to three days at a time in the hills looking for him.
But he said: "I'm afraid there have been no results whatsover."
He appealed to people to keep him in their consciousness and in their hearts. He said: "We are still very hopeful of him coming home."
Mr Creaney thanked everyone who has helped share the appeal, distribute posters or offer support.
He said: "We are super-grateful for all the help and everyone who has come to look for him."
"Just to let you know we haven't given up on him. We're still in the hills, we're still looking. Keep your eyes open for him because if he's not here he's got to be somewhere."
He went on: "Thank you for your help and your good energy."
He thanked people for contributing to a funding page to help meet search, equipment and food costs and admitted that "We're kind of in this limbo between our lives and this. Thank you for your all your support and we hope to bring Finn home soon."
