A RENEWED appeal has been launched for the public's help in tracing a missing man whose car was found parked in Arrochar last year.

James Clacher, 55, has been missing from his home in Bellshill since Monday, May 30, 2022.

He was last seen in Airdrie at around 4pm on that day, though a black Suzuki Swift which James drives was traced to the Loch Long car park in Arrochar in Argyll the following day.

Police said at the time of his disappearance that Mr Clacher may have also travelled through the Tyndrum area.

James was 53 at the time of his disappearance and is described as 5ft 6in tall, of athletic build with a shaved head.

When last seen, he was wearing khaki-coloured trousers, a dark hooded jacket, a dark T-shirt, a dark baseball cap and dark-coloured boots.
