Walker Finn Creaney is still missing

Police in the Highlands have renewed an appeal for sightings of a man who has gone missing in Sutherland after setting out for a walk.

Officers said Finn Creaney’s family are greatly concerned, two weeks after he was last seen.

They repeated their plea for anyone who might have been walking in the area to report any possible sightings of the 32-year-old, who lives in the Tain area.

Mr Creaney was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, 25 March, having been dropped off at Loch Naver, on the B873 in Sutherland, to start his planned walking route around the loch and south to Golspie.

Chief Inspector Kevin Macleod said: “It is two weeks since Finn went missing and his family remain greatly concerned.

“It is obvious from the response we have had that there is great concern in the community for Finn’s wellbeing.

“Since Finn was reported missing, a number of searches have been carried out by local officers who have been assisted by our colleagues in operational support division and the air support unit, along with our partner agencies. This will continue over the weekend in effort to locate him.

“I ask that if you were walking in the area and hills between Altnaharra and Golspie recently to get in touch with us. It is possible you have a piece of information that could help progress our enquiries.

“I would like to thank the public for the tremendous support they have given so far.

“Anyone who may have seen Finn is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 or speak to any officer quoting reference 0912 of 28 March.”

Mr Creaney is described as 5ft 11ins (1.8m) 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.
