Police are appealing for information to help trace a man reported missing from Lewis.
Islander,
Murdo MacAskill, was last seen disembarking a ferry in Ullapool at around 4.45pm
on Tuesday 12th May, having boarded in Stornoway.
The 54-

five days since Murdo was last seen and he did not alert anyone as to what his travel
plans were.
“As such, we are keen to establish his whereabouts as soon as possible and ensure
he is safe.
"Anyone who has information that can assist officers with their enquiries
are asked to contact police immediately."
