CONCERN is growing for a teenager who has been missing overnight and failed to return home from a hillwalk in the Highlands.
Isaac Johnson was reported missing around 11pm on Saturday August 12 after he did not return to his home in Glenmoidart.
The 17-year-old set off for his walk around lunchtime on Saturday and was believed to be walking in the area south of Greag Nan Lochan before heading north east after that.

A multi-agency search involving police, coastguard and mountain rescue teams has been launched to trace him.
He was last seen wearing shorts, a rain jacket and walking boots and was carrying an Adidas bag.
Police said that there have yet to be any sightings despite extensive searches.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact the emergency services.
Chief Inspector Donna Allan said: “Isaac set off on his walk around lunchtime on Saturday and has failed to return home, and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“This is an extremely worrying time for his family.
“We believe he was walking in the area south of Greag Nan Lochan and headed north east after that.
“Officers, coastguard, and mountain rescue teams are carrying out extensive searches but there have been no confirmed sightings of him.
“I would urge anyone with any information on Isaac’s whereabouts to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting 4427 of August 12, 2023.”
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!
