“We consider Walter to be vulnerable and his eyesight is also poor especially in the dark.
“I would appeal to anyone living in the surrounding area to keep a lookout for a man matching Walter’s description and check any sheds or outhouses in case he has taken shelter there.
“Walter is known to frequent the Cromarty area and so I would also appeal to people there to report any sightings to officers.”
