Authorities are searching for a father and his 12-year-old son who disappeared while walking in the Scottish Highlands.

Tom Parry and his son Richie had been enjoying a lovely holiday in Scotland's picturesque Glen Nevis and Glencoe. They had planned to return to their home in Cheshire this evening, but unfortunately, they did not make it back as expected. Naturally, their loved ones were worried sick and the police have been notified about their disappearance.

The authorities have been tirelessly searching for Tom, 49, and Richie, 12, in the Glencoe area since their car was discovered in the Three Sisters car park. This was the last place they stopped before setting off on a hillwalking adventure on Tuesday. Inspector Craig Johnstone of Police Scotland has urged anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward as soon as possible.

Tom is described as a 5ft 10ins man with a medium build, curly brown and grey hair, and he may be wearing a black and orange jacket. Richie, on the other hand, is a slim 5ft boy with light-brown hair and could be wearing a bright orange jacket. The Glen Nevis area, located near Fort William, is a popular starting point for those looking to climb Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland.

It's not just hiking that draws visitors to this beautiful region. Glen Nevis also boasts several woodland trails and is a popular spot for picnics. Just a short distance away is the stunning National Nature Reserve of Glencoe, where the visitor centre is a must-visit for tourists and locals alike. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in Scottish history by exploring a 300-year-old turf and creel house or take a wildlife safari with National Trust Scotland rangers. For the more adventurous, there are eight Munro mountains waiting to be conquered.

The breathtaking scenery of Glencoe has also caught the eye of filmmakers, with the area being used as a backdrop for several movies such as Harry Potter, Braveheart, and Skyfall. With so much to see and do, it's no wonder that Tom and Richie chose this spot for their holiday. Let's hope they are found safe and sound soon so they can continue making wonderful memories in this stunning part of the world.
