Police are continuing to appeal for information to trace a 47-year-old man reported missing from Edinburgh, more than one week since he was last seen.
Coen Bust got off a train at Dunkeld Train Station at 10.18am on Thursday, 13 March, 2025. He had left Edinburgh Waverley Station at 8.30am.
There have been no confirmed sightings of him since this time.
He is described as of heavy build with a long greying beard. He was last seen wearing a mustard-coloured jacket and carrying a large rucksack and a red/orange metal water bottle.
Inspector Paul Thomson, Drylaw Police Station, said: “It has now been more than a week since Coen Bust was last seen and we are keen to trace him as soon as possible and I would ask anyone with any information to please contact Police Scotland.
“If you have private CCTV footage in the Dunkeld or Birnam areas or dashcam footage from the surrounding areas around the time Mr Coen was last seen, please review it and contact us with anything relevant.
“Likewise, if you were on the 8.30am train from Edinburgh Waverley to Inverness on Thursday, 13 March, and saw Mr Bust, or got off at Dunkeld, please contact police. No matter how small it may seem, it may help us find him.
“I am also appealing directly to Mr Bust himself to get in touch with the police.”
If you can help, please call Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 2616 of Thursday, 13 March, 2025.
