Police are appealing for information to help trace a man reported missing from Edinburgh’s Old Town.
James Farmer was last seen in the Grassmarket area around 10.30am on Thursday 22nd January.
Since then the 51-year-old has not been in contact with friends or family and concern is now growing for his welfare.
James is around 5ft 7 inches tall, average build with a fair complexion and salt-and-pepper coloured hair.
He was wearing a black ‘Everlast’ jacket and sports trousers with a white stripe, and a hat.
James still has family in the Kirkcaldy area and has also been known to travel to Stirling, Aberdeen and other parts of the country on the bus.
Police Inspector Nick Young said: “We are keen to establish that James is safe and well and we would ask anyone who can assist us in tracing him to come forward.
“Anyone with information can contact us on 101.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
