MULTI-AGENCY searches are being carried out to help trace a man who went missing after travelling to the Crianlarich mountains.
Ivan Meyer, from Edinburgh, left his home and travelled to Crianlarich by train on April 1.
It is believed the 45-year-old arrived at the foot of the mountains from the A82, south of Crianlarich, to make an ascent on An Caisteal and Beinn a Chroin the same day but he has not been seen or heard from since.
Police say it is “out of character” for him and concerns for his welfare are growing.

In an appeal for information, Police have described Meyer as being around 5ft 11in in height and of lean build with dark greying hair and stubble.
He is understood to be wearing hiking clothing, including black trousers, black top, brown hiking boots and a maroon and light blue striped hat.
He is known to be in possession of a light grey backpack, green one-man tent and two purple hiking poles.
Inspector David Marr, from Stirling Police Station, said: “Ivan has not been in touch with friends or family for the past day and this is extremely out of character for him.
“As time passes, concern for his welfare continues to grow. We are carrying out extensive searches in the area, with the assistance of partner agencies, and are asking for anyone with information on Ivan’s whereabouts, or any possible sightings, to please come forward.
“You can contact police on 101, quoting incident 2093 of April 2, 2024.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
