Police have appealed for help to find a missing 14-year-old girl who disappeared from her Edinburgh home two days ago.

Brooke Watson was last seen leaving an address in Craighall Road in Leith at around 6pm on Sunday.

The teenager has not been in contact with her family since and there are concerns for her welfare.

When last seen, she was wearing black leggings, a black Nike hoodie, black Nike Air Max trainers and a red and green fluffy jacket.

Brooke has links across the city and to Midlothian.

A police spokesperson said: “Anyone who may have seen Brooke since this time, or has information on her whereabouts, is asked to get in touch.

“If Brooke sees this appeal, she is encouraged to make contact with either her family or police and let us know that she is safe and well.”
