Police Scotland is appealing for information in tracing a Russian student who has been missing from her address in the capital for a week.
Twenty – two year old Yulia Solodyankina, who has been studying physics at Edinburgh University, was last seen at the Wee Red Bar in Lady Lawson Street on June 7.
Yulia, who speaks fluent English, albeit it with a strong Russian accent, is of medium build with long dark brown hair. She is about 5ft 6ins in height and has a small mole on her left cheek. Her ears are pierced and she wears a number of rings on her fingers, in particular a distinctive thumb ring which is shaped like a small spoon.
When last seen Yulia was wearing a dark jacket, dark trousers, white trainers and carrying a large dark coloured rucksack which appeared to be full.
Inspector Barry Darling, of Police Scotland Edinburgh Division, said:- “We know that Yulia enjoys music and dance and it may be the case that she is at one of the many festivals which take place across the country at this time of year. We appeal to Yulia or anyone who has seen her in the past week to make contact with the Police to let us know she is safe and well.”
