Police are searching for a missing Englishman who disappeared near a Highland army barracks and museum.

He was last seen at around 2am on Saturday July 27 near Fort George – a popular tourist attraction and active army barracks, specifically used by the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Concern is growing among Ronald’s family and friends as his current whereabouts are unknown.

Police note that Ronald may have been walking in the direction of Inverness and have appealed for motorists on the road at that time to share their dashcam footage.
Acting Police Sergeant Stuart Mackenzie of Burnett Police Station in Inverness stated: “Ronald has now been missing for a number of hours, and we are increasingly concerned for his welfare.
“We are appealing particularly to motorists who were in the Fort George or A96 areas, and who may have dashcam footage, to get in touch.
“If you saw a man matching Ronald’s description walking in the direction of Inverness, please contact us. We currently have a number of police resources deployed in the area, and public assistance could be vital in helping us locate Ronald.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting incident number PS20250727- 1809
Fort George, where Ronald was last seen, has been described by Historic Environment Scotland as “the finest example of 18th-century military engineering anywhere in the British Isles”.
Fort George was one of the measures introduced by the government to suppress Jacobite Rising of 1745 to 1746 following the Battle of Culloden.
Once the Jacobite threat was finished, the fort became a recruiting base and training camp for the British Army
Between 1881 and 1964, the fort served as the depot of the Seaforth Highlanders and is currently the home of the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
