Officers will be handing out leaflets today in the search for missing Inverkip woman Margaret Fleming.
Uniformed officers will be distributing leaflets to local residents and businesses in the Inverkip and Port Glasgow areas to try and jog people's memories.
As specialist search officers continue to search a house and its grounds at Inverkip in the search to find Margaret, who was reported missing on Friday 28 October 2016, DCI Paul Livingstone says he's been "encouraged" by the response to the appeal for information.
Officers have received information from people who believe they have recognised the image of Margaret and are following those up.
DCI Livingstone said, "I am heartened by the encouraging response from the appeal for information and we have had a number of people phoning the team to say the remember or recognise Margaret.
"Officers will continue to work to bottom these out as part of the investigation to piece together more detail to Margaret's background.
"We also have officers who will be visible in the local Inverclyde area, delivering leaflets with Margaret's image and engaging with more local people to see if they remember anything.
"Officers continue to search a house and grounds in Inverkip, as well as searching nearby areas.
"I would continue to ask anyone who may have any piece of information that may help, however small, to get in touch with the investigation team based at Helen Street Police Office, Govan on 101."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
