We'll keep searching the lochs for as long as Kevin's family want

Team with the latest tech hope to find husband missing since 1994

ONE of Britain's leading underwater search teams is to launch a fresh hunt for a Scots joiner 31 years after he vanished.

Kevin McGuire was last seen leaving his home in the remote village of Stronachlachar, Stirlingshire, on Hogmanay, 1994.

Now members of Beneath the Surface are preparing a series of weekend searches in April and May using the latest underwater sonar technology in a move welcomed by his family.

Kevin drove off after a late-night argument with wife Lisa about where they would celebrate the New Year.

With no trace of the 27-year-old or his car, it remains one of Scotland's most baffling missing person cases.

One theory is that Kevin may have skidded in the icy conditions and plunged into one of the area’s lochs.

Beneath the Surface previously searched for Kevin at nearby Loch Katrine, Chon, Ard, and Arklet, as well as the area round Inversnaid Pier on Loch Lomond.

This time the volunteers plan to look further afield towards the Duke's Pass area, near Aberfoyle, which includes Loch Drunkie and Loch Achray.
