A child has gone missing in North Edinburgh and Edinburgh Police have made an appeal to the public for any information.
Three year-old Mikael Kular was last seen going to bed at his home address in Ferry Gait at around 9pm yesterday evening.
However, when his family awoke this morning, the infant was not in the house.
Officers are now conducting local enquiries in the area to trace Mikael and are being assisted by officers from the Air Support Unit.
Anyone who believes they have seen him since last night or this morning is asked to contact police immediately.
Mikael is described as three foot tall and is possibly wearing a beige hooded jacket, brown shoes and nightwear.
Chief Inspector Sara Buchanan said: “We currently have a large police presence within the Drylaw area as we conduct our enquiries to trace Mikael.
“We are keen to hear from anyone who remembers seeing a young boy matching his description since yesterday evening to contact police immediately.
“As part of our investigation we are also trying to determine how the child has left his home and anyone with information that can assist with these enquiries is also asked to get in touch.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
