The daughter of a hillwalker missing in the Cairngorms has appealed to other walkers for help to trace him.
Mountain rescuers are searching for James Robertson, 61, who has not been seen since leaving his home in Cathcart, Glasgow, last Monday.
Police Scotland said the search was continuing with six teams, six search and rescue dogs and a coastguard helicopter involved.
Mr Robertson had been staying at Bob Scott's bothy in Glen Lui during the week, according to Braemar Mountain Rescue team.
In posts on the team's Facebook page, his daughter Lynn Strachan said her family was "distraught and desperate" for news.
She said: "We know that he has been out in the snow (potentially since Monday) with next to nothing on his person.
"Our only hopes of finding him rely on people who have been/are in the Cairngorms area to come forward with any information.
"The area is so vast and we have no information about what mountain he could be on. We need someone who has seen my dad to help Braemar and Aberdeen mountain rescue teams to narrow their search.
"We are desperate for my dad to be found."
Braemar Mountain Rescue team said: "There is an on-going search for an overdue 61-year-old walker named Jim Robertson who was staying at Bob Scott's bothy during the week.
"If anyone has been out walking in the southern Cairngorms, particularly hills accessible from the bothy, and think they may have met or seen this lone walker please get in touch with us."
Mr Robertson is described as being 5ft 10in and of medium build with short grey hair and glasses. He is believed to be carrying a large rucksack.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
