Searches have been carried out this week for the 77-year-old man.
Euan Robertson told The Courier his father Struan Robertson was trying to clear a hydro-power device on his estate in Perthshire when he lost his footing and fell into the water amid flooding following heavy rain.
Police Scotland said specialist resources including a police helicopter and drones were used to search for him on Monday amid “challenging” conditions, with searches continuing on Tuesday and expected to resume on Wednesday. His son told The Courier: “He was trying to clear a hydro intake from the Tay. It powers the electricity but it gets clogged up when the water is so high.“I was in Perth at the time. My mother was with him when it happened.”
