Concern is growing for the welfare of an Edinburgh woman who has not been seen or heard from since Monday afternoon.

Anne McDonald was last seen in the Morningside area of the city at around 4.30pm.

However since then she has not been in contact with any family members or friends.

The 47-year-old is described as 5ft 6in tall, slim build, blue eyes with long blonde hair.

She was last seen wearing a khaki coloured jacket with a fur trim, and dark coloured leggings.

Sergeant Scott Young, of Westerhailes Police Station, said: "We're appealing for Anne to get in touch and let us know she is safe and well.

"It's possible Anne may have used public transport, such as the local bus service.

"Anyone who can assist with our enquiries is urged to come forward."

Anyone have information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
