The search for a 71-year-old man who has gone missing from his home in Tayport is continuing.

Police and lifeboat crews are looking for Val Smernicki, who was last seen around 7.45pm on Sunday.

Concern is growing for the pensioner as he has not been in contact with his family.

Police said he was last seen walking west towards the shoreline in the town.

He is described as 5ft 11in tall, of a slim build with short grey hair and is clean-shaven.

He wears glasses and when last seen was wearing a black hooded top, dark coloured trousers and black trainers.

Inspector Jim Davenport of St Andrews Police Station said: "We are focusing our inquiries in the area close to Val's home address and we are still keen to speak to anyone who may have seen him since Sunday at 7.45 pm."

Anyone with information has been asked to contact police officers via 101.
