The family of Fiona McMaster who has been missing for over a week say they are “desperate” to find her.
Ms McMaster (41) was last seen outside a Marks and Spencer on Morningside about 4pm on Tuesday, August 8 and officers believe that she may be travelling across the central belt by bus as she was spotted on CCTV at Edinburgh Bus Station on Friday shortly before midnight.
Police have urged bus passengers to get in touch if they have seen anyone matching her description.
Ms McMaster’s mother released a statement through Police Scotland saying “Fiona has now been missing for a week and we are desperate to find her as quickly as possible.
“Fiona, if you see this message, please come home or contact us, we just want to know that you’re okay and to let you know you can come home.
Inspector Graeme Nisbet said: “It has now been a week since Fiona was last seen and we are again appealing to the public for information in order to trace her.
“We have released an image today of Fiona at Edinburgh Bus Station on August 11 in the hope that this will aid the public in our search.
“I would directly appeal to anyone who has travelled between Edinburgh and Glasgow via bus to think if they have seen a woman matching Fiona’s description. If you have, please contact us as soon as possible.
“I would also again appeal to Fiona, if she does see this message, to either get in touch with her mother or police to let us know her whereabouts.”
Ms McMaster is described as having a heavier build and is around 5ft 5in with chestnut hair.
She is known to have links to the Gyle area and the west of Edinburgh.
