Relief as missing man found

A MAN who was missing from his Ayrshire home for more than a week has been found safe and well.

Richard Lyon, 59, from Kirkmichael in Ayrshire, had not been seen since around 7am on 2 August, when he left his home in Portcheek Terrace.

Yesterday, Central Scotland Police said the man had been traced and thanked the public for their help.

Earlier in the week, police said his car had been found in Doune Road, Dunblane. It was the first time the car has been seen since last Thursday, when it was spotted on the A80 near Castlecary, North Lanarkshire.

Mr Lyon's family issued a statement yesterday thanking everyone involved in the moves to find him.
