Police have confirmed the identity of a man missing from a boat in Argyll as 23-year-old Kieran Cowan.
Searches for Mr Cowan, who has been missing since the boat he was in capsized on Loch Awe on Saturday, resumed this morning.
Police Scotland said Mr Cowan is from the East Lothian area and that his relatives are aware.
The Police Scotland Dive and Marine Unit and members of the Mountain Rescue Team are currently carrying out a search of the area to find the young man.
The family of Mr Cowan released the following statement: “Kieran always sees the good in a bad situation. He has a heart of gold and loves life.
“He lights up the room with his infectious smile and his motto is: it is what it is.”
Officers from Police Scotland, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the Scottish Ambulance Service and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency attended Loch Awe after the boat with three men on board capsized around 4.40pm on Saturday August 17.
Two of the men, aged 23 and 27 years, were able to swim to nearby island. After raising the alarm, they were rescued and taken by ambulance to Lorn and Islands Hospital in Oban and later discharged.
A joint Police Scotland and Marine Accident Investigation Branch inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing.
