Sergeant Chris McGlinchey, Dalgety Bay Police Station, said: “We believe that Keith may have been in a wooded area of Heathery Wood, Kirkcaldy on Thursday or Friday.

“Officers have been searching the area as well as checking with family and friends, however, unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from him since yesterday afternoon.

"We are keen to trace Keith to make sure he is safe and well and would appeal to members of the public to look out for him.

“We are liaising with colleagues at British Transport Police as well as working with local bus, train and taxi companies.

"We'd also ask Keith himself to get in touch with us so that we can make sure he is okay."
