Police Scotland is appealing for information to help trace a man who has gone missing in Edinburgh. Stuart Ferguson was last seen at around 8.55am today as he left the Western General Hospital via the Craigleithhill Crescent. Since then the 47-year-old has not been seen or heard from and concern is growing for his wellbeing.
Stuart is described as white, average height and build with short brown but greying hair that is receding on top. He was last wearing a red and grey chequered shirt with dark grey bottoms and black crop shoes. He is well spoken and speaks with a Scottish accent.
In addition to a thyroid condition, which makes Stuart’s eyes appear bulging, he also lives with diabetes and so may appear slightly confused if he has not had a regular insulin injection.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: Stuart had no money on him when he went missing, nor did he have access to transportation and so we are conducting local enquiries to trace him.
“His health may suffer if he does not receive his insulin at regular intervals and so we are keen to locate him as soon as possible.
“Anyone who believes they have seen Stuart since this morning, or who has information that can assist our investigation is asked to contact police immediately on 101.”
