Concern is growing over the wellbeing of a missing man from Ayrshire who was last seen over a week ago.
Jackson Mason, from Kilmarnock, has not been in contact with any friends or family over the Christmas period.
The 31-year-old was last seen near a slip on the M77 close to Fenwick Hotel at around 4.15pm on Saturday December 19.
He is described as around 6ft tall with a medium build and dark brown hair.
