The search has resumed for a walker reported missing yesterday morning (Sunday 7 April) on the Isle of Skye. Oliver Smith aged 33 and from Fife was planning to climb Bla Bheinn, a Cuillin Munro, and then descend the south ridge and follow the coastal path to Elgol. Police are appealing to anyone who has seen Mr Smith to contact them.
Mr Smith was reported missing on Sunday morning and a search was mounted including local mountain rescue teams, search and rescue dogs, and an RAF and a coastguard rescue helicopter.
Police Scotland described Mr Smith as being 5ft 7 in, of slim build with short brown hair and facial stubble. He wears glasses and was wearing khaki trousers, a black jacket, black hat and was carrying a small blue/grey rucksack.
The scaled-down search continues for missing journalist and keen hillwalker, Clive Dennier, who is believed to have been walking in the Knoydart area. Mr Dennier, aged 50 and from Inverness, has not been seen since he failed to turn up to work on 25 March, his car was later found at Kinlochhourn. A major search failed to find any sign of Mr Dennier and police have said the search has been scaled down although police dog patrols and the voluntary air service Skywatch will continue.
