Search goes on for missing fisherman

Police are continuing searches for a fisherman who went missing off Wester Ross.

Concern was raised for Alasdair Macleod, 57, after his boat Varuna was seen on rocks north of Applecross Bay.

Police, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the RNLI have led extensive searches through the week and further activity is planned over the coming days.

Inspector Andrew Shaw said: “Unfortunately, despite extensive search efforts over the course of the week we haven’t yet located Mr Macleod.”
