Fresh info on missing busker who vanished more than two weeks ago
Police Scotland have issued a new description of missing busker Lewis Cuthbert. A new description of a missing busker who vanished more than two weeks ago has been issued. Lewis Cuthbert, 25, was last seen at around 4pm on Monday August 4 in the Lesmahagow Road area of Strathaven in Lanarkshire. Police Scotland have now revealed that they believe to know what he was wearing when he left his home in Strathaven. He is described as around 5ft 10ins, of slim build with short brown curly hair and was wearing a yellow & brown 'bomber' style jacket with white fur inside with a large collar/hood and jeans. Lewis is a busker and frequents Glasgow City Centre. However, he has been known to travel to other areas of Scotland, and with this being festival time in Edinburgh, it is thought he may have travelled through to the capital. He may be carrying a black backpack, a Bluetooth speaker and a microphone. Inspector Billy Sloan said: 'Unfortunately, despite a significant search for Lewis, there have been no sightings of him since he went missing from Strathaven. 'His family are understandably very concerned for his welfare and just want him to come home. 'Specialist officers continue to search where he was last seen, and police colleagues in Glasgow and Edinburgh have been searching for him too. 'We have issued this appeal in the hope that Lewis himself will see that people what to make sure he is safe and to get in touch. 'We'd also hope to reach any of his friends or people he may have stayed with over the last two weeks. We'd urge them, or anyone who knows where he may be, or who has information that will help trace him, to call police or advise him to go home. 'We'd remind people to check their gardens, sheds or out-houses in case he had sought shelter locally.' Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1371 of Friday, 8 August 2025. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Woman involved in Fraserburgh car crash had bottle of wine when police arrived
A Crimond woman who crashed her car while more than four times over the legal alcohol limit was found clutching an open bottle of wine when police arrived. Emma Thompson appeared at Peterhead Sheriff Court where she lodged a guilty plea to a single charge of driving while under the influence. The court heard that she crashed her Peugeot 2008 near Fraserburgh's cemetery in the early hours of July 5 this year and, when police attended, the 36-year-old was in possession of a bottle which was open and partly consumed. She has now been banned from driving for 20 months. Fiscal depute Lydia Williams told the court that officers were alerted to a car crash on Cemetery Road in the Broch at about 1.19am and attended shortly after. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Thompson readily admitting she had been behind the wheel. Ms Williams explained: 'At 1.25am police attended, they traced the accused, who was slurring her speech and still in possession of the bottle of wine. 'The bottle of wine was partly drunk and the cap was off the bottle. 'She was asked who was driving the vehicle at the relevant time and responded 'it was me'.' Thompson was thereafter taken to the local station, where the alcohol in her breath was analysed at a reading of 96 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is just 22 micrograms. Iain Jane, Thompson's defence solicitor, said his client wished to apologise for her actions on the night of the crash. 'She wishes for me to apologise to the court for her behaviour, she understands it's completely unacceptable,' he said. 'She understands how serious the matter is and she hopes that in some way that is reflected in the plea that has been tendered.' Mr Jane added that Thompson, of Logie Drive, had been going through 'a number' of personal issues at the time of the incident and was currently in receipt of Universal Credit. He said: 'She has previously had employment, but without a licence that's going to be difficult – and impossible – to return to at this moment in time.' Overseeing the hearing, Sheriff Alan Sinclair branded Thompson's conviction as 'very serious'. 'Ms Thompson, you'll be aware you're almost five times the limit,' he said. 'This also led to a collision. This is, accordingly, a very serious instance of this type of offending. 'I am, however, prepared to deal with the matter by way of disqualification and fine.' In addition to her ban – which she can reduce by one quarter by completing a drink-driving rehabilitation course – Thompson was told to pay back a fine of £420 at the rate of £50 per month.
