A search has been launched for a missing hiker and his dog who travelled from West Yorkshire to climb in Glencoe.

Kyle Sambrook, 33, and beagle Bane arrived in the Highlands on Saturday at around 3.30pm.

It is understood Mr Sambrook was planning to walk and wild camp in the area with the intention to climb Buachaille Etive Mor.

He was expected back home on Tuesday but failed to return and has not made contact with any family or friends since arriving in Glencoe.

Mr Sambrook’s black Peugeot 208 was later found in The Three Sisters car park.

He is described by Police Scotland as being 5ft 8in tall, of medium build, with ash blonde hair, ginger/blonde stubble and blue eyes. He has a West Yorkshire accent.

At the time he went missing, he was believed to be wearing khaki and black Merrell hiking boots, khaki and black outdoor trousers, a dark and light blue hooded Peter Storm waterproof jacket, and a grey North Face beanie hat.

Mr Sambrook was also carrying a grey and yellow Merrell backpack and had a green two-person tent which he was planning to use.

Bane is a medium-sized beagle with white and brown markings on its back.
