Police are appealing for the public’s help to track down a missing man who may be in the Galloway Forest Park area.
Stephen Neil, 60, was last seen at about 7pm on Saturday in the Dumfries and Galloway village Ae.
Investigating officers believe he is driving his campervan, which has the registration L643 SES, and is matt black with green wheels and trim.
Inspector Lloyd Caven said: “We believe Mr Neil may have travelled in his campervan to the Galloway Forest area.”
He added: “That is obviously a huge area to search, so to assist local officers we have enlisted the help of local mountain rescue colleagues and the force’s helicopter.
“We appreciate that the weather, road conditions and remoteness of the area is an issue, however, if anyone has been around there or has seen Mr Neil or his vehicle overnight or today, we’d ask that they contact police.”
