Police say they are extremely concerned about a missing man believed to have been camping in a flood-hit region.

Personal items belonging to Terence Kilbride were found in the Bridge of Dee area of Aberdeen several days ago.

Officers have released a photo of the 48-year-old, who is originally from the Warrington area.

Inspector David Paterson said: "Given the recent inclement weather we are extremely concerned to trace Mr Kilbride and confirm he is safe and well.

"A photograph, which is a few years old, has been provided and we are asking people to see if they recognise him.

"Mr Kilbride is known to go camping and spend time outdoors and it is thought he may have been camping in the Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire areas. It is also thought that he may have a bicycle with him.

"If you have any information which may help us trace Mr Kilbride, please contact us on 101."
