Concern for missing Stockbridge man

Police in Edinburgh are appealing for information on the whereabouts of a vulnerable 72 year old man who has been reported missing from the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh.

William McCulloch left his home in Bedford Court at 8.55am this morning (12 July) and hasn’t been heard from since. This is unusual behaviour for William, and his family are increasingly concerned for his welfare.

William is described as white, 5ft5in to 5ft 6in tall, medium build, bald with hair at the back of his head, wearing a beige jacket, blue jeans and black shoes. He also uses a walking stick.

Inspector Alan Bowie said: “We are concerned for William’s welfare as this is out of character for him. I’d ask that anyone who has seen a man matching William’s description around the Stockbridge area or further afield, to contact police immediately.”

Anyone who knows where William is or who has information that could assist should contact police on 101.
