Appeal for help to trace Lewis Cuthbert, 25, reported missing from Strathaven

Officers are continuing to ask for the help of the public to trace Lewis Cuthbert, aged 25, reported missing from Strathaven in South Lanarkshire.

Lewis Cuthbert was last seen around 4pm on Monday, 4th August, in the Lesmahagow Road area and was reported missing to police on Friday, 8 August.

He is described as around 5ft 10ins, of slim build with short brown curly hair. When last seen he was wearing a brown jacket with a collar, dark coloured rolled up jeans and brown dress shoes.



Lewis is known to go to Glasgow city centre to busk and he was carrying a black backpack, a Bluetooth speaker and a microphone. He also goes for walks in the countryside around Strathaven.

Inspector Billy Sloan said: “It is unusual for Lewis to be out of contact with his family for this length of time and extensive searches and enquiries are ongoing to trace him.

“Concerns are growing for his welfare and we need to make sure he is safe and well so we are asking anyone who has seen him or knows where he might be to get in touch.

“If you live in the Strathaven area please keep an eye out for him and also check gardens and sheds in case he has sought shelter.

“We are also asking people to look out for him in the city centre of Glasgow as he busks.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1371 of Friday, 8 August, 2025.
