Police are appealing for help in tracing a man who has not been heard from in nearly a week.
Graeme Leslie, from the St Cyrus area, was last seen in Dundee on July 14 but has not been spoken to by his family since.
It is understood the 62-year-old may have been seen at his home at Scotston Place during Monday by neighbours.
Mr Leslie is known to frequent licensed premises in the Montrose and Dundee areas and officers are appealing for anyone who has seen a man matching his description to get in touch as extensive inquiries continue to establish his whereabouts.
He is described as being white, around 5ft 1, of a stocky build, wears glasses and has a tattoo on his right forearm. It is not known what he might be wearing.
Inspector Megan Heathershaw, who is leading the search, said: “I would appeal to anyone who has seen a man matching the description of Graeme provided to please contact us as soon as possible.
“Likewise I would ask Graeme if he sees our appeal to let police know he is safe and well. It has been several days since anyone has spoken to him and our concerns for his safety and well-being are growing.
“Searches involving specialist police teams and the RNLI will take place today along the coastline near Graeme’s home. He is known to frequent licensed premises in the Dundee and Montrose areas, so I would urge people frequenting or working in these places to keep an eye out for him.
“Please contact Police on 101 with any information as soon as possible.”
