Police helicopter called in as officers ramp up efforts to trace missing Alness man Calum Mackenzie

Roadside checks will be carried out in the Highlands today as police continue efforts to find a missing 41-year-old man.

Calum Mackenzie was last seen around 1.45pm on November 7 in the Dalmore area of Alness, having visited Morrisons supermarket on Dalmore Road shortly before 1.30pm.

He bought food at the shop before leaving on foot.

Officers will be stopping drivers and speaking to people in the area today, a week from the last time he was seen in case they may have seen something which could help establish his subsequent movements.

Further searches will also be carried out in the area today, with support from the Police Scotland helicopter.

Inspector Alasdair Goskirk said: “We will be speaking to drivers and pedestrians around the Morrisons and Lidl supermarkets in case there is anyone who regularly uses the route around that time who may have noticed something relating to Calum’s disappearance, even if they didn’t think much of it at the time.

“We will also be distributing posters to people in the area.

“As part of this work I would continue to ask anyone who was travelling in the area last week to review any dashcam footage that they may have taken.

“Extensive efforts have been ongoing to try and establish his movements, sadly so far without success.

“We are very grateful for the ongoing support from the local community who we know share our concerns for Calum’s welfare.

“I would continue to ask local people in Alness and Invergordon to be vigilant and report anything that may be of note as soon as they possibly can.

“Given the recent cold weather I would also people to check sheds, outbuildings or anywhere someone may have sought shelter for any signs of Calum.”

Calum is described as white, 6ft tall and of stocky build. He is bald and has a tattoo on his left forearm.

When last seen he was wearing a black jacket, blue buttoned shirt and black cargo trousers with black boots.

Officers do not believe he has access to a vehicle and if travelling will be on foot or by public transport.

Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3129 of November 8.
