Police are seeking the public’s assistance in trying to locate an 89-year-old man missing from Edinburgh.
John Robertson was last seen around 8.15am on Tuesday in Crewe Road South near the Western General Hospital.
He is described as white, around 5ft 3 – 5ft 4 inches in height, with a slim build. When last seen, he was wearing grey/beige coloured trousers, a navy shirt with a striped jumper on top, a black jacket and black shoes.
Police said officers are reviewing CCTV footage from around that area for any further information on Mr Robertson. They are also linking in with family and friends or any other details which could assist the search to find John.
Sergeant Helen Lyon said: “I would appeal to anyone who may have seen John to get in touch with us. His family is concerned and just want to know he is safe and well.
"If you have seen John or have any information or knowledge as to his whereabouts, please call us.
"Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 860 of 21 November 2023."
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
