UK - Ian Ross (from Dingwall, Scotland) missing since September 2024

[Wakefield6042]

This is my first time posting a thread so please bear with me.
I came across this missing persons case today but have not seen an awful lot of publicity regarding this gentleman's disappearance. The other difficulty is since the case is in the Highlands area of Scotland, much of it will have Gaelic place names. I am not a Gaelic speaker but will do my best to use the proper spellings etc.

It seems Mr Ross was a keen hillwalker and the area he went missing from is popular with walkers.
What I do find a bit unusual is from the articles here, there seems to be no mention of anyone passing him or chatting with him, which is a common occurence between walkers on the hills.

I will post two articles and this will give you the information on the case.
The word 'Beinn' means mountain and is pronounced 'bain'. As far as I know Alligin is pronounced as seen.

AI and drones deployed amid search for Scots hillwalker missing since September

I believe a recent appeal was made by Police Scotland for any news on Ian and there was another recent appeal from the Daily Record newspaper. Unfortunately, the recent newspaper article has a broken link so I could not post it here.
The family are desperate for news.

I'm not aware of this case until today. I guess it's the one year anniversary, and the family need closure, they can't deal with his bank/employment/estate until they have some closure. Hopefully, they will get it.
The thing I remember about the holiday I spent in the Scottish Highlands is the weather can change very quickly. The mist comes across the mountains very quickly, and even expert hill walkers are warned to take care when out walking. Quite possibly, this is what happened her, he got overwhelmed by the weather and unfortunately got lost, or fell.
I hope they find more details soon.
