Woods searched for missing father

Mr Campbell disappeared after visiting his daughter in hospital

Specialist police officers have searched woods around Aberdeen for missing father Stuart Campbell.

Mr Campbell was last seen last Tuesday when he visited his baby daughter, who is a patient at the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital.

Wooded areas to the west of Aberdeen, off Lang Stracht and in Sheddocksley were searched over the weekend.

Officers said they were becoming "increasingly concerned" for Mr Campbell's welfare.

A poster campaign by Grampian Police and friends of Mr Campbell, 32, of Tannachy Terrace, Portgordon, continued over the weekend with more than 1,000 posters distributed around homes, businesses and licensed premises.

He is described as being 5ft 8in tall, with mousy hair and tattooed arms.

Detectives are also carrying out a separate investigation into injuries sustained by Mr Campbell's daughter.

Det Insp Stewart Kidd said: "We are pleased with the response we have had from the public. A number of possible sightings were reported to Grampian Police and a few of these are being investigated in more detail.

"I renew my appeal for anyone with information about the whereabouts or movements of Stuart Campbell to contact us. As time goes on we are increasingly concerned for his welfare."
