Edinburgh hillwalker missing after hiking near Stirling
Police have said his disappearance is extremely out of character
There's growing concern for an Edinburgh man who is missing after going hiking in the Crianlarich mountains.
45-year old Ivan Meyer, who has a tent with him, caught a train from the capital on Monday and is believed to have arrived at the foot of the hills from the A82.
Police have said it is extremely out of character for him not to be in touch with family or friends.
He is described as being around 5ft 11, lean build, with dark greying hair and stubble.
He is believed to be wearing hiking clothing, including black trousers, black top, brown hiking boots and a maroon and light blue striped hat.
Ivan is known to be in possession of a light grey backpack, green one-man tent and two purple hiking poles.
Inspector David Marr, from Stirling Police Station, said: “Ivan has not been in touch with friends or family for the past day and this is extremely out-of-character for him. As time passes, concern for his welfare continues to grow.
“We are carrying out extensive searches in the area, with the assistance of partner agencies, and are asking for anyone with information on Ivan’s whereabouts, or any possible sightings, to please come forward.
“You can contact police on 101, quoting incident 2093 of 2 April, 2024.”
