Police searching for a missing man have found his car parked at a nature reserve.

Duncan Adam, 55, was reported missing from his home in Inverbervie, Aberdeenshire, on Sunday afternoon.

Mr Adam's white Vauxhall Corsa was discovered at the St Cyrus National Nature Reserve on Monday and officers are now focusing their search efforts on the area.

Detectives are also trying to build a timeline of his movements.

Inspector Megan Heathershaw, who is leading the search, said: "I would ask anyone who was in the St Cyrus area at the weekend and saw a parked white Vauxhall Corsa to let us know so that we can pinpoint exactly when Duncan left his car there.

"Likewise if you were there at the weekend and didn't see one, that information could be crucial too.

"Extensive searches with assistance from specialist search officers and the Police Scotland helicopter have been ongoing today, and they will continue tomorrow if he is not found tonight.

"Once again, I would appeal to Duncan to let us know that he is safe and well if he sees this appeal."

Ms Heathershaw thanked everyone who responded to the initial appeal for information.

Mr Adam is around 5ft 7in, of heavy build with very short brown hair which is greying.

Anyone who has any information about Mr Adam is asked to call 101.
