Police are becoming “increasingly concerned” for the welfare of a man who hasn’t been seen for over a month.

William Barclay was seen in the Newmilns area of Ayrshire on August 26 and was reported missing on September 28.

The 54-year-old has been known to spend time in the Oban, Fort William and Mallaig areas and normally travels by bus.
