Police are renewing their appeal for information to help trace 73-year-old Stewart Downie who is missing from Kirriemuir.

Inspector David Gibson said: “Stewart’s family are understandably concerned for his welfare. I am appealing for anyone who may have seen him, including in the area of Lintrathen Loch to come forward.

“I would also appeal to motorists who may have been driving in the area around that time and may have dashcam footage.”

“Also, can householders please check the gardens, sheds, outbuildings and communal areas in case Stewart has sought shelter.”
