Concerns are increasing for a hillwalker from Belgium who is missing on the Isle of Skye.
Hector Patemore was last seen at about 10:45 on Sunday morning.
Police are becoming increasingly worried about the 45-year-old tourist, who disappeared while hillwalking on the Isle of Skye.
Patemore, who lives in Belgium, was last seen at about 10:45 on Sunday after leaving Glen Brittle Youth Hostel, near Torrin, to start his walk.
He intended to climb Sgurr Na Banachdich and descend via Coire Na Banachdich in the Cuillin Mountain area, but he did not return to his accommodation and has not contacted his family.
Officers have appealed for anyone who saw him to come forward.
Patemore is described as white, 6ft 4in (1.93m), slim, with a shaved head and stubble.
He was wearing a red jacket, a mustard hooded top and a hat, and was believed to be carrying a rucksack.
Patemore was reported missing at about 22:25 on Sunday.
Sgt David Mockett said: "Hector is an experienced hillwalker, and the route he planned to take is considered relatively straightforward.
"We are growing increasingly concerned for his wellbeing and are appealing for anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to please get in touch.
"We are particularly keen to speak with any fellow hillwalkers who were in the area on Sunday 13 September, and may have seen Hector or know anything which could help pinpoint his location and route."
