Search continues for missing Australian tourist in Caithness

Searches are continuing for a missing Australian tourist who was last seen in John O’Groats on Monday morning.

Lynne Radke, 46, was reported missing after failing to return to her hotel on a visit to the far north.

Yesterday afternoon a lifeboat crew from Wick searched the shoreline between Wick and John O’Groat’s pier but found no sign of the missing woman.

Police also confirmed yesterday that they had received reports of sightings of Ms Radke at various locations but were yet to trace her.

A police spokesman confirmed this morning that efforts were continuing to try and locate her.

She is described as 5ft 2in tall, medium build with a tanned complexion.

She has curly brown/red hair and brown eyes.

Ms Radke might be wearing glasses and a red jacket.

She also has a distinctive tattoo on her arm, including colourful images of a bird and an eye.

Anyone who thinks they may have seen Ms Radke or have information on her whereabouts should contact police on 101.
