His father, Paul Pike, took to social media begging Scots to help bring his son home to his wife and children.

He wrote: "Our son, Richard Woolley, spent last week in the Ullapool area in Scotland walking.

"His last contact with home Nottingham was Friday when he said he was going for a walk on Saturday then heading home with overnight stop to break the journey.

"Unfortunately he never arrived home Sunday and has been reported to Police in Scotland who have issued a missing person notice.

"His car was found at Stoer lighthouse Sunday so he never left Scotland.

"Search teams have been out looking and today they start what's called fingertip search and drones."
