Appeal to help trace missing man last seen boarding train at West Lothian station

dailyrecord.co.uk:

CCTV images have been released to help trace a hillwalker who was last seen boarding a train a week ago in West Lothian .Ross Kinghorn has not been seen since he got on a train from Linlithgow at around 6.30am on Monday January 16 when he was on his way to go a hike in the Bridge of Tilt area.The 57-year-old has failed to make contact with loved ones since and police are becoming increasingly worried about his wellbeing.Ross was captured on CCTV using the rail network on Monday but there have been no other confirmed sightings of him after that - prompting police to again ask for the public's help as their search efforts continue on.Ross is described as a white male, 5ft 8ins tall, slim build, bald head and is believed to have been wearing a blue beanie hat, blue waterproof jacket, green fleece, grey walking trousers and brown boots when he vanished.He is also understood to be carrying with him a small two-wheel trolley and small black rucksack.Anyone with any information on Ross' whereabouts are being urged to come forward, and locals are being asked to check their sheds and outbuildings, too, for anything that may suggest that Ross passed through.Inspector Kris McCall said, “As time passes we are becoming more concerned for Ross.

We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to trace him.“Today we have issued a second photograph of Ross which shows the clothing he was wearing when he was last seen.

We hope it may help people recognise him.“I would ask residents in the Bridge of Tilt area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any sign that he may have been there.“I would also appeal to any hillwalkers who have visited Bridge of Tilt recently and may have information to contact police as soon
