Police in the Highlands are continuing to appeal for the public’s help to trace Finn Creaney (32).
Finn, from the Tain area, was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, March 25, having been dropped off at Loch Naver, on the B873 public road in Sutherland, to start his planned walking route around the Loch and south to Golspie.
Officers continue to search the area between Altnaharra and Golspie in Sutherland, with the support of the Air Support Unit as well as a number of partner agencies, including mountain rescue and coastguard.
Finn is described as 5ft 11, 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.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, a knee-length brown leather jacket, dark coloured trousers, brown waterproof boots and was carrying a green rucksack.
In a statement released today, Finn’s wife Lucy said: “I would like to thank family, friends and the local community for all their help, concern and support over the last few days. It is a really worrying time for me and our four-year-old daughter, Luna.
“I am really concerned for Finn as it has now been seven days since we last saw him.
“I want appeal to anyone who may have seen Finn since last Friday to call the police and ask anyone walking in the area and hills between Altnaharra and Golspie that they keep an eye out for Finn and keep him in their thoughts.
“I would also ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.”
Inspector Alasdair Goskirk said: “Our concerns for Finn’s safety and welfare continues to grow. Extensive searches and enquiries have been carried out in an effort to trace Finn.
“I know our concerns are shared by locals and we are grateful for the assistance we have received so far.
