Mark Henderson

Police are appealing for information to help trace a man reported missing in the Drylaw area of the city.

Mark Henderson was last seen around 2.30pm on Sunday 27th April leaving his home address in Muirhouse Park, however, the 51-year-old has not been seen or heard from since and concern is now growing for his welfare.

Mark is taking blood-thinning medication and it is believed he does not have this in his possession.

Anyone who can assist police with their enquiries is asked to come forward.

He is described as white, 5ft 9ins tall with a stocky build, short grey/white hair and moustache, and a 3ins scar on the right side of his neck. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, black Lyle & Scott duffel jacket, black and white Adidas Samba trainers and carrying a blue plastic bag.

Inspector Allan Symington said: “There is concern for Mark as it is out of character for him not to return home and that he appears not to have his medication with him.

“Anyone with information that can help us in finding Mark is asked to contact police immediately.”

Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
