"Searches are being made of Loch Ness and the surrounding area for a man reported missing from Hampshire.
The RNLI and coastguard have been searching the loch's Urquhart Bay while police have been looking in and around the nearby village of Drumnadrochit."

This is a weird one.
I live in Aviemore. We live beside a large mountain range called The Cairngorms, and there is a lot of rural space nearby.
On monday the 14th He was in Drumnadrochit, 15 miles away (as the crow flies). He was walking his dog, and the dog (a spaniel) got into a field of sheep and killed some. Then he vanished, and was seen in Aviemore, hence them looking for him here. If he's distraught about his dog (which after attacking the sheep is likely to be put to sleep) he could be up the mountain. It's just such an odd story.
It's been mild here in the last week (it's winter here, and we can get bad winters), but very cold at night and parts of the mountain have snow on them. If he's up there without equipment then he won't survive. The mountain range has skiing stations and bothys (small, simply built huts that people keep basics in for lost travellers dotted around the mountains), but it's very much wild wilderness. No predators (other than wildcats, which are only slightly bigger than a house cat).
