Police in Skye have issued an appeal for help to trace a Paisley man who has gone missing on a fishing trip with friends in the Northwest Highlands.

David Mooney, 43, visited Loch Cluanie over the Easter weekend with friends to go fishing.

Around 1.30pm on Sunday, April 17, he left his friends unexpectedly and has not been seen since.

David is described as 5ft 7in tall, of medium build with short black hair.

When he was last seen he was wearing a black Berghaus jacket, green fishing trousers, black trainers and a yellow woolly hat.

Officers say it is possible David got a bus, or another form of transport, from the A87 back to Paisley.

Police are increasingly concerned as it is out of character for David not to be in contact with friends or family.

Anyone who has information about David’s whereabouts or who thinks they may have seen him has been urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 2423 of April 17, 2022.
