This man it is said here has dementia.

There seems to be a growing number of older people with the condition going missing. Surely they should all wear some kind of tracking device? Although may not be possible, I suppose, if they are disinclined to, but what's the answer?

Bumping...

It seems police link in first post has now gone. Found?

I'm not judging as such, but I will say that going on a walking tour of the Highlands of Scotland when you're starting to suffer from dementia isn't the best idea.....
