Police ScotlandPolice say there has been “no trace” of a man missing from Aberdeenshire for more than a year.
Robert Gibson, known as Bob, was reported missing from the Banff area on Monday, October 23, 2023.
The 74-year-old is described as around 5ft 7in height, with a slim build and thinning, grey hair.
Due to there being no last confirmed sighting of Mr Gibson, officers said they are unable to say what clothes he may be wearing.
He often walks in the area of Duff house and is a keen fisherman and it is believed he was last seen in September of last year.
Officers said Mr Gibson generally keeps himself to himself but is well-known in the local area and is also known by local golfers as he returns their lost balls which he finds when out walking.
Detective Inspector Andrew Wilson said: “More than a year has passed since Bob was reported missing and we remain extremely concerned for him.
“Bob was known to walk a route along the River Deveron and extensive land and water searches were carried out with no trace of him.
“All other enquiries have also not found any trace of him.
“I would ask anyone who may have seen Bob or who has any information on where he may have gone to contact us as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to call officers on 101 quoting incident number 1990 of October 23, 2023.
