THE search for a Paisley man who left his angling party on Sunday, travelled to Inverness it has been confirmed.

Police Scotland are continuing to appeal for the help of the public to trace 43-year-old David Mooney who visited the Highlands over the Easter weekend to go fishing.

He was at Loch Cluanie, west of Invergarry, with friends and left the area unexpectedly around 1.30pm on Sunday, April 17.

A police spokesperson said it is possible he got on a bus and travelled to Inverness where he was seen at the train station around 3.50pm on Monday, April 18, and picked up on CCTV.

David is described as 5ft 7ins, of medium build with short black hair.

When he left Loch Cluanie he was wearing a black Berghaus jacket, green fishing trousers, black trainers and a yellow woolly hat. He may have changed into a light coloured hoodie, dark grey joggers and trainers.

Police are increasingly concerned as it is out of character for Mr Mooney not to be in contact with friends or family.

Anyone who has information about his whereabouts or who thinks they may have seen him is asked to please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 2423 of Sunday, 17 April, 2022.
