The personal belongings of a missing Scots hillwalker have been found during a search for him.
Ross Kinghorn was last seen in Blair Atholl on January 16, after being captured on CCTV boarding a train from Linlithgow, West Lothian, at around 6.30am on Monday, January 16. The 57-year-old was travelling to the Bridge of Tilt area in Perthshire with the intention of going on a hike.
His last confirmed sighting was around 9am the same day, after he arrived in Blair Atholl. It is believed Ross then set out for the Beinn a' Ghlò hills.
He was reported missing on Friday, January 20 after he failed to return from the trip as planned, with police launching an extensive search of the area. Some of Ross's personal items have since been found near Bridge of Tilt.
Officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and are urging anyone who may have seen Ross to get in touch. Residents are also being asked to check any sheds or outbuildings.
Ross is described as a white male, 5ft 8ins tall, slim build, bald head and is believed to have been dressed in a blue beanie hat, blue waterproof jacket, green fleece, grey walking trousers and brown boots when he disappeared.
Sergeant James Longden said: “We remain very concerned for Ross as our enquiries continue and we would continue to urge anyone with any information which may help to get in touch.
“Ross is an experienced hillwalker. His intention was to walk in the Beinn a' Ghlò hills above Blair Atholl and I would urge any other walkers who have been in the area who may have seen anything which looked out of place to get in touch as your information may prove helpful.
“I would also ask residents in the Bridge of Tilt area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any sign that he may have been there. Anyone who may have seen Ross is asked to contact police on 101 quoting 1588 of 20 January, 2023.”
