A vulnerable 65-year-old woman missing in Edinburgh has been found safe and well after an extensive search.

Annie Ross had last been seen at the foot of the Playfair Steps on the Mound at around 3.15pm on Tuesday, August 23.

Police were keen to trace her over concerns she may have been "confused and unaware of her surroundings".

Late on Tuesday evening officers confirmed she had been found.

A statement said: "Police Scotland can confirm that Annie Ross from Edinburgh has been found safe and well in the capital.

"Thanks to media and members of the public who assisted with our appeal."
