Police searching for a vulnerable elderly man in Edinburgh are increasingly concerned for his well-being.

William McCulloch, 72 years old, was last seen leaving his home address at Bedford Court at 8.50am this morning (12 July). William suffers from Alzheimer’s  and uses a walking stick.

Inspector Gill Geaney said: “We are extremely concerned for William’s safety and we are appealing for assistance from the public to help trace him.

“We ask that people check their outhouses, gardens and sheds for signs of William. He may be in a confused state but if you believe you have seen him or have any information that may assist, please contact police on 101.”
