It's been 8-years to the day since 23-year-old Allan Bryant went missing following a night out in Glenrothes, Fife.
Having disappeared without a trace, finding him still "remains a priority" for the police who have launched a fresh appeal for information.
Allan, who would now be 31, is described as white, 5ft 6in and of medium build, with short brown hair, blue eyes and tattoos on both arms.
On the night he went missing, Allan had attended an engagement party at Leslie Golf Club from his home in Ednam Drive.
He arrived at the golf club at about 9pm and left around midnight when he and the group travelled by minibus to Styx nightclub, arriving a short time later.
The last known sighting of Allan was shortly after 2am on Sunday November 3 2013 when he was captured on CCTV, having left the club at 2:02am.
Situated around a mile from his home, it is not known what happened to Allan on the walk between the club and his house, but he has not been seen or heard from since.
His family has campaigned tirelessly in the eight years following his disappearence to keep Allan's case in the public eye.
In the days following his disappearance, his family distributed 50,000 missing person posters around the area as it became the most significant missing person case ever faced by police in Fife.
Over the 8-years he has been missing, the police have continued their search to no avail.
Earlier this year, Allan's dad, Allan senior, told of his disappointment after a chance encounter with a police search sparked hope that it was in relation to his son's case.
However it turned out to be linked to a different investigation.
Speaking in August 2021, Allan senior said: "Every single day we live in hope that there will be a breakthrough and we finally find out what happened to Allan."
It's not the only time the Bryant family have had their hopes of finding their son dashed.
In September 2020, human remains found in the industrial estate in Glenrothes turned out to be that of another missing person.
What happened to Allan Bryant?
Police don't know what happened to Allan Bryant on November 3 2013, however his father believes there are people out there who do.
"There are people out there who know what happened to Allan and where he is and we just urge people to come forward with anything that may help us and the police.
"It can be anonymously through the Facebook page or however they want but we just urge the public help bring this search to a close."
With the family desperate for closure, Police Scotland have ensured the case "remains a priority".
Speaking on the anniversary of Allan going missing, Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Houliston, of the Major Investigation Team, said: "We know that every anniversary that passes is another blow for the Bryant family and my thoughts are very much with them today.
"Finding Allan remains a priority and I can assure the local community that all new information, no matter how small, will be fully assessed and acted upon as appropriate.
"Once again I urge anyone who has information which could relate to Allan’s disappearance to report this as soon as possible."
