The family of a kayaker missing in the north-east have released his pictures this morning as a major search operation to find him resumes.

35-year-old Dominic Jackson, from Fettercairn, near Laurencekirk, failed to return home from a trip to Portsoy Harbour at 10pm on Sunday.

Police say a Volkswagen van, believed to belong to the Dominic, has been discovered parked at the harbour.

A rescue operation involving coastguard, police and four RNLI lifeboats began last night and resumed shortly after 8am this morning.

Inspector Ewan Strachan said: “Intensive coastal searches will continue this morning extending east and west from Portsoy Harbour with assistance from the coastguard.

“Concerns are obviously growing for Dominic’s safety and wellbeing and we urgently want to trace him.”

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland, along with RNLI and coastguard, are currently at scene at Portsoy Harbour making search following the report of a 35-year-old male kayaker being overdue from a sea-kayaking trip.

“Lifeboats from Banff, Portsoy, Buckie and Macduff, along with 12 coastguard personnel and 5 police units are currently engaged in the search.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
