Chief Inspector David Sharp from Lanarkshire Police, said: “Barry’s family are extremely worried about him.

“He’s originally from the Inverness area so knows the highlands quite well. He is a keen hill-walker and so we’d ask people to keep an eye out for him if you’re hill-walking or maybe have seen his car in a car park somewhere.

“We’ve been in touch with local police as well as local mountain rescue teams and they are assisting our search for him as well.

“We would also urge Barry to please get in touch with someone to confirm that he is ok.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cumbernauld Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 3981 of Sunday, April 14, 2019.
