An appeal has been made by police to help trace a missing Scots pensioner.
Janet Knox, 67, has been missing from her Edinburgh home since around 11am today, in the Warriston area.
She is described as white and of medium build with grey and white shoulder-length hair. She has a birthmark on the right-side of her face. When she was last seen she was wearing a white long-sleeved top, a black gilet and green, leopard-print leggings.
Sergeant Mike Smith said: “We are extremely concerned for Janet’s safety and wellbeing. It is completely out of character for her to go missing.
“A number of searches and enquiries are ongoing in the Edinburgh area to trace her as soon as possible to ensure that she is safe and well. If you have seen Janet, please contact us as soon as possible.
“I urge anyone with information on her whereabouts or any detail that may assist us to trace her to contact 101 quoting reference number 2671 of 14 November.”
