Now that the snow cover has greatly reduced and conditions are improving, the family of hillwalker, Jim Robertson, Police Scotland & Mountain Rescue teams are asking any hill goers in the Cairngorms area to please keep looking out for the missing 61 year old.

Inspector Matt Smith, Police Mountain Rescue Team Leader, said: “Despite a concerted effort Jim is still missing. With the weather starting to improve we would ask that anyone using the hills remains alert to the fact that he is still missing. We would ask that they get in touch should they see anything unusual or concerning.”



Jim’s daughter, Lynn said, “We are still hoping that our beloved dad can be returned home to us soon so that we can say our goodbyes before his final rest. Thank you everyone for your continued support.”

Mr Robertson was reported missing on 2 March, it is believed he was staying at Bob Scott’s bothy near Derry Lodge near the Linn of Dee from 29 April. The Munro compleatist may have been tackling nearby Corbetts when he went missing although his intended routes were unknown and a very wide search has been undertaken so far.

Anyone who is walking in the area over the Easter weekend is asked to keep an eye out and report anything unusual to the Police by calling 101.
