Inspector Paul Thomson, Drylaw Police Station, said: “It has now been more than a week since Coen Bust was last seen, and we are keen to trace him as soon as possible and I would ask anyone with any information to please contact Police Scotland.

“If you have private CCTV footage in the Dunkeld or Birnam areas or dashcam footage from the surrounding areas around the time Mr Coen was last seen, please review it and contact us with anything relevant.

“Likewise, if you were on the 8.30am train from Edinburgh Waverley to Inverness on Thursday, March 13, and saw Mr Bust or got off at Dunkeld, please contact police. No matter how small it may seem, it may help us find him.

“I am also appealing directly to Mr Bust himself to get in touch with the police.”
