Police are continuing to search for a missing Inverness man who has not been seen since Sunday.

Today officers carried out garden searches and house-to-house enquiries in the Dalneigh area.

There was a possible sighting of John Mackay (51), who was reported missing from Muirtown Street, in the Muirtown Swing Bridge area between 7.15am and 7.25am on Sunday.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman confirmed: "Officers are searching areas in Dalneigh in connection with the inquiry to locate missing man John Mackay."

Inspector Graham Brown said appealed for any dash-cam footage from the area at the time of the potential sighting by the swing bridge on Sunday.

He added: "We would also ask people in the area to check garages and outbuildings in case John may have sought shelter as the weather gets colder."

Mr Mackay is described as being 6ft tall, slim build and was wearing grey jogging bottoms, a blue body warmer and blue running shoes when he was last seen.

Anyone with any information which might help trace him is asked to call police on 101, quoting the reference number 1036 of November 8.
