Police have appealed for help in tracing a man who is missing from Midlothian.

Kenny Allan, 46, was last seen around 9.50am on Friday at an address in Komarom Place, Dalkeith, and officers are increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Mr Allan is described as white, with a medium build and around 5ft 8in tall with thinning brown hair and brown eyes.

He was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and brown boots. Mr Allan was also wearing a watch with a black leather strap and a gold necklace.

Inspector Jocelyn O'Connor of Dalkeith Police said: "This type of behaviour is considered completely out of character for Kenny and we are eager to trace him as soon as possible.

"I would appeal to Kenny to get in contact with either his family or police to let us know his whereabouts.

"I would also ask anyone who has seen Kenny, or recognises his description, to get in touch with us immediately."
