Glasgow bus passengers who travelled on a service to Aberdeen last week could help police trace a missing man.
Umar Kahn, from England, is believed to have taken a Flixbus service from Glasgow to Aberdeen on Tuesday, August 23. The service arrived in Aberdeen at around 2.50pm.
Umar, 24, is thought to have then been in Cove, a suburb south-east of Aberdeen. Police think that he was, specifically, in the area around the Torry to Cove coast road and path, near Doonies Farm, at around 2pm on Thursday, August 25.

Umar is described as of a slim build with dark hair. When last seen he was wearing a light-coloured hoodie, blue jeans and white trainers, he also had a white jacket and was carrying a black rucksack.
Police say he has links to Leicester and London and despite the alleged sightings in Aberdeenshire, he has no connections to the area.
Concern for his welfare is 'increasing' among officers probing his disappearance. Passengers that boarded the Flixbus service from Glasgow to Aberdeen are urged to come forward.
Inspector George Nixon said: “Extensive searches are ongoing to find Umar who has links to both Leicester and London but no known connections in the Aberdeenshire area. Concern for his welfare is increasing.
"I would ask anyone who was on the Flixbus Service from Glasgow that arrived in Aberdeen on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 23 and saw or talked to Umar to get in touch as you may have information that can help with our enquiries.
"We are keen to find out where he went after arriving in the city. We believe he was in the area of the coast road and path between Torry and Cove and are keen to speak to anyone walking or driving in that area between around 11am on Thursday, August 25 and 2pm that day.
“In addition, given that Umar has no known links to the Aberdeenshire area, I am also asking anyone who knows Umar to get in touch. It is vital that we find out if he may have travelled on to another part of Scotland or to England.
"We just want to make sure he is safe and well. Our enquiries to find him are ongoing and officers will be around the coast road area. If you have any information that could assist please speak to them or call us on 101, quoting reference number 1893 of Thursday, August 25."
