The family of a Fife man who's been missing for more than a decade have been left devastated as another search has found no trace of him.
Police searched Auchtermuchty Common for four days starting on Friday, but Allan Bryant's family have confirmed it's yielded no result.
The 23 year old from Glenrothes was last seen in the early hours of November 3 2013 leaving Styx Nightclub after a night out.
Allan's dad, Allan Bryant Sr, said: "It's been a really difficult time for my family.
"We did have our hopes up that Allan may have been found.
"When we received the information from the police that Allan's not there, it's just heart-breaking, it's really hard to cope with.
"My family are still trying to come to terms with this latest information.
"It doesn't get any easier, it just gets harder and harder."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Following information received in connection with missing man Allan Bryant, officers attended at Auchermuchty Common on Friday, 5 April, 2024.
