A renewed effort to find an American tourist missing in Highland Perthshire has yielded “disappointing” results, police have said.
One week on from her disappearance, officers retraced the steps of Susan McLean in a bid to turn up new leads.
Police Scotland have spent the past week carrying out extensive searches in the town, with support from Tayside Mountain Rescue Team and search dogs, the operational support division, the air support unit and the dive and marine unit.
Those teams continued to carry out searches in the area over the weekend, including on the road out of Aberfeldy, the A826.
Officers also revisited the town between 7pm and 9pm on Sunday, one week on from Mrs McLean’s disappearance.
Temporary Chief Inspector Ian Scott said: “We had the seven-day anniversary yesterday where we were stopping people in Aberfeldy, motorists and pedestrians who may have a weekly routine, to see if that could help us at all.
“Initially it doesn’t appear that there’s anything too positive come of that, which is obviously a little bit disappointing for us.
“There were around 60 people spoken to but nothing of particular note has come off the back of it.
“It was warmly received by the local community, who have been very supportive of the police.
“From that side of things it’s good work but it doesn’t really help us with tracing Susan.
“Because of the amount of police activity and the media interest there’s been I would have been quite surprised if somebody had come forward.”
A mother of two, Mrs McLean is a self-employed teacher of horseback and therapeutic riding.
The 61-year-old was holidaying with her family when she left her lodge at the Moness resort in Aberfeldy at 7.45pm on May 17.
The last confirmed report of her whereabouts remains a CCTV image captured on that Sunday night.
Several members of her extended family spent the weekend in Scotland to comfort her husband and sons, but some have since flown home.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 101.
