Police are "very concerned" for a heavily-pregnant woman who has been missing for two days.
Natasha Ritchie, 31, was last seen in Memsie near Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, at about 6.15pm on Sunday.
She is eight months pregnant and has not been in touch with her family, but there was a potential sighting of her in Watermill Road, Fraserburgh, at about 10.30am on Monday.
Officers said Ms Ritchie has links to Peterhead and have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
Ms Ritchie is about 5ft 5ins with long brown hair. She is thought to be wearing black leggings, a blue jacket and black Nike trainers.
Sergeant Martin MacDougall said: "It is out of character for Natasha not to be in touch with her family and we are very concerned for her welfare, particularly as she is eight months pregnant.
"We just want to make sure she is okay and would ask her to contact us.
"Natasha is well-known in Fraserburgh and also has connections to Peterhead, and we would ask that if you have any information that may assist us in tracing her please contact us on 101 quoting incident number 0831 of 30/10."
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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
