Kirsty Heggie

Police are appealing for information to help trace a woman reported missing from the Leith area.

Kirsty Heggie, who is 23-years-old, was last seen near to Holyrood Palace at around 9.35am on Sunday 29th June.

She was wearing a brown/black blazer jacket, a black vest top, black trousers and black trainers. She was carrying a black bag that had pink/orange flowers on it and may have in her possession a purple blanket with flower stitching on it.

Described as white, 5ft 6in, of slim build and with short curly blonde hair, Kirsty resides in the west of Edinburgh and is known to frequent the city centre area, where she regularly busks.

Inspector Murray Tait said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned about Kirsty as she has not made contact with friends or family since 29th June.

“If anyone has any information that can assist with our enquiries, they are urged to contact Police Scotland immediately on 101.
