Police have issued a new description of a hill runner’s clothes as part of a major search operation in Torridon.

Alexander Brett, 65, is believed to have visited the area last weekend and planned to run a route covering Beinn Eighe, Beinn Dearg, Beinn Alligan and Liathach.

He has not been seen since last Sunday, and was reported missing on Thursday.

Police teams are anxious to trace Mr Brett, and have been working with coastguard helicopter teams, various mountain rescue operations, and have employed the use of police dogs.

Since he has gone missing a number of sightings have already been reported, and police have now been able to confirm what he was wearing when he was last seen.

Mr Brett was described as wearing red running shorts, a black puffa jacket, a small black back pack, a red and black bandanna and trainers.

Search co-ordinator Sergeant Alan Heath said: “We have had a few sightings reported to us and we are following these up.

“We also hope that with the updated detail of his clothing people who were in the area may remember seeing him.

“We are continuing to appeal to anyone who may have seen him to contact the police on 101.

“We would also be keen to speak to people who may have recently been out walking or running in the Beinn Eighe, Beinn Dearg, Beinn Alligan and Liathach areas.”
