The family of a Scottish man who disappeared after a night out in Portugal have flown out to join the search to find him.

Greg Monks was last seen leaving the main strip in the resort town of Albufeira in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The 38-year-old from Glasgow had arrived on Tuesday night as part of a stag do and was on a night out with friends.

Greg told the group he was leaving around 2am to return to his accommodation.

He has not been seen since and his family say his disappearance is “not like him”.

Members of his family have now flown out to aid the search, with a GoFundMe page set up to help with costs.

His sister, Jillian Monks, said his disappearance had been reported to local police.

She said on Facebook this week: “My brother is missing in Albufeira and has not been seen since Tuesday night/Wednesday morning anyone who is there or has any information please message.

“Feel free to share on platforms. Reported to police and hotel and embassy.

“Please any information we are desperate – not like him to do this.”

A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Portugal and are in contact with the local authorities”.
