POLICE have reported a further sighting of a man who has been missing from Skye for almost two weeks.
Harry Macdonald, 59, was reported missing on Wednesday September 21, after going for a walk.
A sighting of Macdonald was reported in the Peinmore area near Portree on the island at around 4.30pm on Monday September 19.
Before that sighting Macdonald was last seen on Sunday September 18 after leaving his dog with a family member, which is said to be out of character for him.
Police Scotland are re-appealing for information to help trace him.
He is described as white, 6ft 2in, with white/grey receding hair and dark bushy eyebrows.
When last seen he was wearing a navy blue hooded top, blue jeans, black walking boots and a red sports watch.
Chief Inspector Alasdair MacLeod said: “As time passes we are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Harry. We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to find him. We have had a sighting of him in the Peinmore area on Monday September 19 2022.
“I would ask residents in the Portree area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any signs that he may have taken shelter there.
“I would also ask motorists to check their dash-cam footage if you were travelling between Portree and the junction into Peinmore between 4.45pm on Sunday September 18 and 4.55pm on Monday September 19. You may have captured something that could assist our investigation.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
