Police Scotland has launched an urgent appeal for information after Adam Chalmers, 36, went missing while hiking in the Scottish Highlands. He was last heard from at 12:40pm on Saturday in the Ben Lawers mountain range.
Mr Chalmers had planned to scale three Munros – Meall Greigh, Meall Garbh, and An Stuc – and in his last message, indicated he had one left. He is described as white, 5ft 11in, of stocky build, bald, with a medium-length brown beard.
He was wearing a green and blue triangle-patterned fleece, a grey and black waterproof jacket, green walking trousers, a blue cap, and brown boots. He was carrying a rucksack with orange elastic ties.
Inspector Iain Gillies said: “We are appealing for anyone with any information on Adam’s whereabouts to come forward as soon as possible. We are particularly keen to speak with any fellow hillwalkers who were in the Lawers area on Saturday and may have seen Adam or knows anything which could help pinpoint his location and route.”
Anyone with information should contact the police on 101, quoting incident 2881 of May 23.
In addition, an urgent appeal has also been launched for a missing 60-year-old American tourist last seen in the Highlands.
Timothy Rosser was spotted in Glencoe on Tuesday, 19 May, driving a black MH hire car with registration LE75 FNO. Authorities are concerned as it is “out of character” for Mr Rosser not to have contacted his family, and he has failed to check into pre-booked hotels.
Mr Rosser is described as white, 6ft 2in, slim, with short white hair.
Sergeant Lewis Macleod of Police Scotland stated: “Timothy has failed to check in to his pre-booked hotels in the area and it is out of character to not be in touch with his family.
“We are appealing for anyone with any information on his whereabouts, or who may have been hillwalking in the area on 19 May and seen anything which may assist our searches, to please come forward as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident 2326 of May 23 2026.
