AN extensive search is underway to find a Cheshire dad and his teenage son, with both reported missing in the Scottish Highlands.
Police Scotland is asking for help to trace 49-year-old Tom Parry and his 12-year-old son Richie who are missing after going hillwalking.
The pair were due to return to their home in Cheshire today, Wednesday, after visiting Glen Nevis and Glencoe.
Their car was found in the Three Sisters car park in Glencoe where they stopped yesterday, Tuesday, to go hillwalking.
Inspector Craig Johnstone, of Police Scotland, said: “Tom and Richie have not returned home as planned.
“Extensive searches and enquiries are ongoing in the Glencoe area to locate them as soon as possible.
“I urge anyone who believes they may have seen or spoken to them to get in touch urgently.”
Tom is described as being around 5ft 10ins and of a medium build, with brown and grey curly hair. He may be wearing a black and orange jacket.
Richie is described as being around 5ft and of a slim build, with light-brown hair. He could be wearing a bright orange jacket.
