A sighting of missing Skye man Harry Macdonald has been reported in Portree.
Mr Macdonald was reported missing more than a week ago and it is now believed the most recent sighting of him was on Monday September 19.
The 59-year-old was reportedly seen at around 4.30pm in the Peinmore area, a day later than the previously known last sighting.
Before this, he was last seen in Beech Gardens, near the nature walk in Portree, at about 4.45pm on September 18.
Coastguard and mountain rescue teams have been involved in the extensive search for Mr Macdonald, who left his dog with a family member before going on a walk alone.
This was said to be “completely out of character for him”.
When he was last seen, he was wearing a navy blue hoodie, blue jeans, black walking boots and a red sports watch.
Appeal for public help
Officers are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Mr Macdonald and are urging the public to report any sightings to the police.
They are now also asking motorists to check dash-cam footage and locals to check sheds and outbuildings.
Chief Inspector Alasdair MacLeod said: “As time passes we are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Harry. We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to find him. We have had a sighting of him in the Peinmore area on Monday September 19.
“I would ask residents in the Portree area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any signs that he may have taken shelter there.
“I would also ask motorists to check their dash-cam footage if you were travelling between Portree and the junction into Peinmore between 4.45pm on Sunday September 18 and 4.55pm on Monday September 19. You may have captured something that could assist our investigation.”
Police are urging anyone who has seen Mr Macdonald or has information regarding his whereabouts to contact them on 101 quoting reference 2186 of Wednesday September 26.
