We now believe he was wearing a yellow &amp; brown \u2018bomber\u2019 style jacket with white fur inside with a large collar\/hood, and jeans.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis is a busker and frequents Glasgow City Centre. However, he has been known to travel to other areas of Scotland, and with this being festival time in Edinburgh, he may have travelled through to the capital. He may be carrying a black backpack, a Bluetooth speaker and a microphone.<\/p>\n<p>Inspector Billy Sloan said: \u201cUnfortunately, despite a significant search for Lewis, there have been no sightings of him since he went missing from Strathaven.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis family are understandably very concerned for his welfare and just want him to come home.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecialist officers continue to search where he was last seen, and police colleagues in Glasgow and Edinburgh have been searching for him too.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have issued this appeal in the hope that Lewis himself will see that people what to make sure he is safe and to get in touch.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d also hope to reach any of his friends or people he may have stayed with over the last two weeks. We\u2019d urge them, or anyone who knows where he may be, or who has information that will help trace him, to call police or advise him to go home.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d remind people to check their gardens, sheds or out-houses in case he had sought shelter locally.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1371 of Friday, 8 August 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"m-a-box-avatar-url\" href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/author\/john-hislop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-79-100x100.png\" class=\"attachment-100x100 size-100x100\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\"   data-attachment-id=\"579324\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/untitled-design-79-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Untitled-design-79.png\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled design (79)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Untitled-design-79-300x200.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Untitled-design-79-1024x683.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter.
