A major search is underway for a hillwalker who failed to return from a planned trip in Glen Coe with his dog.

Kyle Sambrook, from West Yorkshire, arrived in the Highlands on Saturday and had intended to walk and wild camp, accompanied by his beagle called Bane.

Police Scotland said Mr Sambrook had planned to ascend the 3,353ft (1,022m) mountain Buachaille Etive Mòr.

Glencoe, Lochaber, Oban and RAF mountain rescue team volunteers have been making searches.

He was believed to be wearing khaki and black Merrel hiking boots, khaki and black Revolution Wraith outdoor trousers, a dark and light blue hooded Peter Storm waterproof jacket, and a grey North Face beanie hat. He was carrying a grey and yellow Merrel backpack.

His dog is a medium-sized beagle, white with brown markings on its back.
