AN urgent search has been launched to help find a man who went missing during a camping trip with friends over the weekend.
Reece Rodger, from Fife, was last seen in the Kinloch Rannoch area of Perthshire at 11.30pm on Saturday.
He had been camping on the shore of Loch Rannoch.
Friends of the 28-year-old told officers they believed he was going to bed when they last saw him.
However, there was no trace of him on Sunday morning.
Sergeant Lindsay Brown of Blairgowrie Police Station said: “We are extremely concerned for his safety as he is not dressed for the cold weather and he is not familiar with the area.

“Searches and inquiries are ongoing to trace him as soon as possible to ensure that he is safe and well.”
Rodger is described as being 6ft tall and slim with dark-coloured hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black jogging trousers.
Sgt Brown added: “I would urge anyone who has seen Reece, or who has any information on his whereabouts, to contact police.
“I would also ask anyone living in the local area to please check their outbuildings or sheds in case he has taken shelter there.”
Any information should be passed to 101 quoting reference number 1348 of March 19.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
