Police searching for a hillwalker who has been missing in Lochaber since the weekend are investigating a number of possible sightings.

Eric Cyl, 62, has not been seen since Saturday morning when he set off to walk in the Ring of Steall area of the Mamore mountain range, near Fort William.

Extensive searches of the area have failed to find any sign of him.

Weather in the area was poor, with fresh snow falling at the weekend.

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team has issued an appeal on their social networking site, asking walkers who were in the area at the weekend to report any sightings of Mr Cyl so that they can narrow down their focus.

The appeal has been shared more than 160 times by members of the public.

The Ring of Steall is a popular walk that goes round the top of three Munros at the head of Glen Nevis.

A total of 30-strong group of mountain rescue and members of the Search and Rescue Dogs Association (Sarda) were involved in the search earlier this week.

The initial search on Sunday involved both Lochaber and Glencoe mountain rescue teams, assisted by Search and Rescue Dogs and HM Coastguard helicopter.

The operation resumed on Monday but also failed to find any sign of the man.

Mr Cyl was wearing a light grey jacket and dark trousers. He is of a stocky build and has short grey hair. The experienced hillwalker was walking alone and aided by two walking poles.

Anyone who may have seen him in the Mamores area should contact police on 101.
