Police Scotland are appealing for help to trace a missing hillwalker in the Sutherland area.

32-year-old Finn Creaney from Tain , was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, having been dropped off at Loch Naver on the B873 in Sutherland to start his planned walking route.

He planned to walk the route around Loch Naver and South to Golspie, where his vehicle was parked.

Assynt Mountain Rescue and the coastguard helicopter have been helping in the search.

Finn is 5ft 11in tall, of slim build with light complexion and freckles on his arms and nose. He has long brown hair down to his lower back and a full brown beard which is short in length.

He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, a long brown leather jacket which goes down to his knees, dark coloured trousers, brown waterproof boots and was carrying a green rucksack.

Sergeant Mike Gallie, of Easter Ross and Sutherland Policing Team, said: “We are growingly increasingly concerned for Finn as this is out of character for him.

“I would urge anyone who believes they may have seen Finn or spoken to him at any time since he was last seen in the area to get in touch."
