UPDATE MAN has now been traced.
Police Scotland is appealing for information to help trace a 68-year-old man who has been reported missing from Edinburgh.
Dennis Scott, who is 68 years-old, was last seen at his sister’s house in Adelphi Place in Portobello at about noon on Thursday 28th August, and concern is now growing for his welfare.
Dennis is described white, 5ft 1in, of slim build, with short grey hair, and he wears glasses. He may also have bruising to his face that was sustained around a week ago.
It is unclear what Dennis was wearing when he went missing but he often wears dark coloured dress trousers, a polo shirt, a woollen jumper and a black waterproof jacket.
Sergeant Gordon Duff, who is based at Craigmillar, said: “Dennis has been missing for almost 24 hours now and our officers are working hard to try and trace him as soon as possible.
“He is known to frequent the Promenade and Figgate Park areas of Portobello, and anyone who has any information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
