Woman missing from Mull - Claire Halliday
The family of Claire Halliday, reported missing from the Isle of Mull, has urged anyone with information to contact police.
Claire, aged 35, was last seen on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025 in the Fionnphort area and it is unusual for her not to be in touch with relatives and friends for this length of time.
Extensive searches by police and partners, including mountain rescue and coastguard, have been carried out across Mull but Claire remains missing.
Her family has released a statement.
“We’re really worried and concerned for Claire. We just want to know that she is safe.
"If you have any information regarding Claire or where she might be, please contact the police to help us safely find her.”
Specialist resources, including the Coastguard helicopter and dog branch have been involved in the searches in around the Fionnphort, Loch Poit na h-i and Knockvologan areas.
Door-to-door enquiries have been carried out across the island and officers have spoken to local businesses and ferry operators.
Available CCTV footage from the island has also been reviewed.
Claire is described as being 5ft 4inches in height, of slight build with shoulder-length, brown, hair. She has a pink and turquoise eye tattoo on the back of her neck and a butterfly tattoo at the base of her spine.
When last seen, she was wearing a white jacket with a cream-coloured hood or hat and white trousers. She also has access to a Ford Transit campervan, registration WN52 AZP. She is also known to wear a black beanie hat.
Inspector Matthew Shaw: "It has now been eight days since Claire was last seen and we are extremely concerned for her welfare.
“We have received positive responses and support from partners and the community, but I am urging people to think back and get in touch with us, no matter how small it may seem, that piece of information could help us find Claire."
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1999 of 9 January, 2025.
