Concerns are growing for the welfare of missing hillwalker Stuart Differ.

Police officers are appealing for help to trace missing hillwalker Stuart Differ who could be in the Highlands.

The 51 year old was last seen leaving an address in Auchinloch in North Lanarkshire around 7.15pm on Friday.

He is described as around 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build and bald.

When last seen he was wearing a black hoodie and black jogging bottoms and was driving a grey Land Rover, reg SY11 UNJ.

Stuart is a keen hillwalker who is known to visit the Loch Lomond and Trossachs and Scottish Highland areas.

Anyone in these areas is also asked to look out for Stuart and the vehicle.

Inspector Barry Maguire, Cumbernauld Police Office, said: “We’re becoming increasingly concerned for Stuart’s welfare and we want to trace him urgently to ensure he is safe and well.

“I’m asking the public to keep a look out for Stuart and the grey Land Rover and report any sightings to us. Anyone with information on his movements since Friday evening, please get in touch.

“Stuart, if you see this appeal, please contact police or your family so we can make sure you’re safe and well.”

Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2807 of 28 April, 2024.
