Police say they are becoming increasingly concerned about the welfare of an elderly man who has gone missing in Edinburgh.
Michael McLenaghan, 72, was last seen around 9am on Friday in the South Morningside area.
He is described as white, 5ft 9 tall and stocky, with receding fair or grey hair, a ruddy complexion and wears glasses.
The pensioner was wearing a green tartan lumberjack-style jacket with a light blue shirt underneath and grey chino-style trousers.
He was also wearing brown or black suede hiking boots with yellow laces and was carrying a brown and grey rucksack.
Police say he is a keen hillwalker and is believed to have travelled to the Pentland Hills area.
Inspector William Falconer said: "Michael has now been missing for some time and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.
"We are eager to trace Michael as soon as possible and would ask anyone who has seen Michael, or who recognises his description, to contact us as soon as possible.
"Likewise I would encourage Michael, if he does see this message, to get in touch with police and let us know he's ok."
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Howdenhall Police Station 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.
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
