A man who went missing from his home in Aberdeenshire more than a week ago has been found.

Stewart Clark, 43, had been reported missing from Oldmeldrum on January 4.

He had last been seen at around 8.40am that day on his way to work and had not been heard from.

However, Police Scotland confirmed he has now been traced "safe and well".

A spokesman added: "Officers would like to take this opportunity to thank members of the public for their assistance with this matter."
