I was hoping this man had been found. The weather in Scotland is very bad today, weather warnings. If by chance he has went to Glasgow, hopefully he will have found shelter.

One month after Aviemore resident James Brannan disappeared, his sister is telling us how it has impacted their family.

Marie McKenna told MFR News: “It’s been horrific, his son and daughter are really struggling ... It’s beyond words what we’re going through.

“I try and be a strong person, but sometimes you just get caught off guard.

“I’m just going from pillar to post trying to be strong for the family and for my nephew and his daughter who are really bad."

Ms McKenna told us her brother is a well-liked member of the local community.

She said: “He went to one of the local bars to have a drink with his friends and has never been seen since.

“He’s a big character in Aviemore, he’s well-known by all the local people and a happy go-lucky guy that gets on with everybody.

“One of our bigger sisters is his best friend.

“She is horrifically struggling, I have to go up and see her every second day just to make sure she’s ok."
