Police are appealing for information to help trace a man reported missing from the city centre.
Derek Hain, who stays in Telford Drive, was last seen within Chalky’s nightclub on Picardy Place at around 2.30 a.m. on Sunday 1st May.
However, the 55-year-old has not yet returned home and hasn’t been in contact with friends or family since this time.
Concern is now growing for his welfare and anyone who believes they may have seen him is asked to come forward.
Derek is described as white, 5ft 10ins tall with a heavy build and dark but greying hair. He was last seen wearing black jeans, a navy blue top, black trainers and a black jacket.
Inspector Davie Ferguson from Drylaw Police Station said: “It is out of character for Derek to go missing and we are eager to establish his whereabouts as soon as possible to ensure he is alright.
“I would ask anyone who believes they may have seen Derek since the early hours of Sunday morning to contact police immediately.
“In addition, I would also appeal directly to Derek to get in touch and let us know he is safe.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
