Police in Edinburgh are appealing for information to help trace a man reported missing in the Capital.

William McCallum from Piershill Square West was last seen in the Piershill area at around 9pm yesterday.

However, the 33-year-old has not made contact with anyone since then and concern is now growing for his welfare.

William is known to occasionally frequent the Leith area and officers are conducting local enquiries within the city to establish his current whereabouts.

Anyone who can assist with this investigation is asked to come forward.

He is described as white. 5ft 6ins tall with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black tracksuit and black trainers.

Inspector Jonny Elliot said: “William has not been seen or heard from since Monday evening and we are eager to locate him as soon as possible to confirm he is safe and well.

“Anyone who believes they know where he is, or who has information relevant to our ongoing enquiry is asked to contact police immediately.”

Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
