Police are appealing for information to help trace a man believed to be missing within the South Queensferry area.
Alistair Edwardson from Livingston was due home from work yesterday morning.
However, he did not return and members of his family grew concerned for his well being.
As such, a significant investigation is underway in South Queensferry with police in Edinburgh being assisted by the Air Support Unit, a Mountain Rescue Team and the Coastguard.
Anyone who has seen or been in contact with Alistair is asked to come forward.
He is described as white, 6ft 3ins tall with medium build, short dark greying hair and was last seen wearing a black dry fit t-shirt, blue jeans, black trainers. However, he may be wearing a dark hooded top with white writing, which says ‘Krav Maga’ on it, jeans and grey trainers.
Chief Inspector Richard Horan said: “It has now been over 24 hours since anyone has seen or heard from Alisdair and we are growing increasingly more concerned for his welfare.
“Enquiries to establish his whereabouts are ongoing not only within South Queensferry, but also in Fife and West Lothian.
“Anyone who believes they know where Alasdair is, or who has information that can assist with our ongoing enquiries, is asked to contact police immediately.
“I would also urge Alasdair to make contact with a family member friend, or with police as soon as possible to let us know he is safe.”
