An urgent search is underway for an American tourist who has been reported missing while hiking in the Scottish Highlands.
Police Scotland have launched an appeal to locate Adam Chalmers, 36, who was last heard from at 12.40pm on Saturday in the Ben Lawers mountain range.
He had planned to scale the Meall Greigh, Meall Garbh, and An Stuc Munros, and in his last message he said he had one left to complete.
He is white, 5ft 11in, of stocky build, and is bald with a medium-length brown beard. He was wearing a green and blue triangle-patterned fleece, a grey and black waterproof jacket, green walking trousers, a blue cap and brown boots. He was carrying a rucksack with orange elastic ties.
Inspector Iain Gillies said: “We are appealing for anyone with any information on Adam’s whereabouts to come forward as soon as possible.

“We are particularly keen to speak with any fellow hillwalkers who were in the Lawers area on Saturday and may have seen Adam or knows anything which could help pinpoint his location and route.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident 2881 of May 23.
