Inspector Kris McCall said: “As time passes we are becoming more concerned for Ross. We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to trace him.

“Ross has been seen on CCTV using the rail network on Monday but unfortunately there have been no other confirmed sightings of him.

“Today we have issued a second photograph of Ross which shows the clothing he was wearing when he was last seen. We hope it may help people recognise him.

“I would ask residents in the Bridge of Tilt area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any sign that he may have been there.

“I would also appeal to any hillwalkers who have visited Bridge of Tilt recently and may have information to contact police as soon as possible.”

Anyone who may have seen Ross is asked to contact police on 101 quoting 1588 of January 20, 2023.
