Chief Inspector Scott McCarren, of Maryhill Police Office, said: “We are extremely concerned for Gregor as he has never been missing before and there are no confirmed sightings of him since Tuesday, July 2.
“Gregor’s family are absolutely devastated by his disappearance as it is completely out of character for him not to keep in contact with his family and friends.
“Local officers carried out a stop and speak operation on the canal path near to Twechar Bridge last night which was exactly two weeks on from when he was last seen there.
