A SCOTTISH tourist who sparked an urgent search after going missing in Poland is safe and well.
Sam Kennedy, 20, didn’t return home from a holiday in Kraków last Thursday.
He had checked out of his hotel in the Polish city but never showed up for his flight back to Glasgow.
Worries for Sam increased after he hadn’t been in contact with relatives since he failed to return.
Last Sunday, three days after he was due back in Scotland, family members desperately shared appeals for anyone with information to help find him.
His sister Robyn shared a picture of him on Facebook and called on anyone to share it to help locate him.
Cops also got involved in the search for the missing Scot.
Police Scotland confirmed they were liaising with the Polish National Police and Interpol amid the search for Sam.
The Foreign Office were also involved and were supporting Sam’s family throughout the bid to find him.
Thousands of people shared the posts to help find him as fears for his safety grew.

But relatives confirmed Sam had been in touch and let them know he was safe.
Robyn Kennedy gave an update about the situation on social media.
She also thanked everyone who had got involved and shared her appeal.
Robyn revealed that cops closed down their investigation after Sam contacted them.
She said: “Sam has contacted us and we now know he is safe and well.
“The police are now happy to close the inquiry.
“Thank you everybody who put time and effort into helping us find him.
“We would appreciate some privacy as a family now. Thank you.”
