Police are appealing for help in tracing a ten-year-old schoolgirl who has gone missing in Edinburgh.

Lisa Young was last seen leaving Craigroyston Primary School around 11am today.  The school is located in the Muirhouse area, just off Ferry Road.

There was another possible sighting of her in Gamekeepers Road, in the Cramond area, around 12.45pm.

There have been no sightings of her since, and police are carrying out extensive enquiries in the areas where she has been seen.

Lisa is described as white, around 4ft tall, with short light brown hair, and a fair complexion.  When last seen she was wearing a blue sweatshirt, black trousers, and pink trainers.  She was carrying a black rucksack.

A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman: “While there are no immediate concerns that Lisa has come to any harm, she hasn’t returned home, and we are anxious to trace her as soon as possible.

“We are appealing to anyone who thinks they have seen her today to contact police immediately.  Likewise, anyone who has any information regarding her current whereabouts should also get in touch.”

Anyone with any information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.
