Police are searching for a missing Fife man they believe may have travelled to the Highlands.

Neil Fordyce was reported missing from Windygates, Fife on Friday 6 February, and was last seen in the Achnashellach area of Wester Ross around 12.40pm on Saturday 7 February.

The 41 year old is 5ft 9ins tall, of average build, with fair hair and stubble.

When he was last seen he was wearing black joggers, a black coat, and a red and blue knitted hat, carrying a large rucksack.

Police appeal

“Inspector Alasdair Young said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Neil and want to make sure he is ok.

"We believe he has travelled from Kirkcaldy to Achnashellach by train, going via Perth and Inverness, and are looking to speak to anyone that may have spoken to him or remembers seeing him. We believe he then exited the train station on foot, walking along the A890.

"It is very unusual for him to be out of contact with his family and friends for this length of time. Anyone with any information on Neil's whereabouts should contact police."

Any information can be passed to officers via 101, quoting incident number 1340 of 7 February 2026.
