Police are continuing to search for a Broughty Ferry pensioner who has been missing for almost four days.
Officers are continuing with their efforts to trace 77-year-old Jack Greenway, who disappeared from his home on Broughty Ferry’s Esplanade at 11pm on Saturday wearing only his pyjamas.
The weather since Mr Greenway went missing has been foggy and wet, leading to concerns for his welfare.
Despite an exhaustive search of the Esplanade, beach and surrounding areas there has still been no trace of him.
Police confirmed that their search, which has also involved HM Coastguard, Broughty Ferry lifeboat crews and members of the local community, is continuing this morning.
Many former pupils of Mr Greenway, who taught at Menzieshill High School and Harris Academy, have expressed their concern at his disappearance, describing him as the best teacher “they ever had”.
Police have renewed their appeal for any information that might help with their search efforts.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “We are continuing our efforts to trace Jack Greenway, 77, who has been reported missing from his home in Broughty Ferry.
“Jack was last seen on Saturday November 7 at 11pm at the Esplanade.
“He is described as a white male, 5ft 8in tall with white hair, white beard, of slim build and was last seen possibly wearing dark pyjamas.
