THE brother of a man who went missing more than two weeks ago today made an emotional appeal for his return.

Stuart Clark, from Clydebank was last seen in Swindon Street, near Dalmuir Train Station, at around 12.25pm on Sunday January 17.

There has been an unconfirmed sighting of Mr Clark, 59, near Mackintosh Bar in Dalmuir at 2pm on Monday January 18.

However, his family has not heard from him since he disappeared.

Mr Clark has been missing before but not for this length of time.

The family was joined by Inspector David Quinn.

Mr Quinn said: "We've carried out numerous inquiries in the local area, a check of closed circuit television cameras and we also carried out a stop and speak on Sunday there where we spoke to over 350 people from the local area.

"From that we've had some useful information.

"One is that Stuart's been seen in the local area on numerous occasions in the company of a male who's described as being in his early 20s wearing a military style jacket.

"We'd appeal at this time if you are that person or know who that person is can you come forward so we can get any information regarding Stuart's whereabouts."

Mr Clark's twin brother Iain Clark and Iain's wife Liz appealed for help.

Iain Clark said: "I'm obviously now very worried about my twin brother Stuart.

"We haven't seen or heard from him in over two weeks.

"He regularly visits our house and comes for dinner.

"He's very sociable and is reasonably well known in the Dalmuir area after having lived there for the past six years.

"I just want to know that Stuart is safe. I would ask that he calls somebody, it doesn't have to be us.

"If anybody has seen Stuart or has any information on where he is please contact police as soon as possible."

The plea came after police spoke to 350 people.

Police are looking to trace a man in connection with his disappearance.

Mr Clark is described as white, 6 ft 2in tall and of medium build with red hair and a beard.

He wears glasses and has a distinctive stilted walk.

When Mr Clark was last seen he was wearing a dark green tweed coat, brown cardigan, white shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes.
