Concerns are growing for the welfare of a woman who has gone missing from her Edinburgh home.

Margaret Young, 49, was last seen in Dock Place in Leith on Monday but has not been in contact with family or friends since.

Her car was last seen on the A1 southbound at Thorntonloch near Dunbar in East Lothian at around 6.10pm on Monday.

She was driving a silver Vauxhall Antara with the registration BD11 UCF.

Officers believe she may have been travelling to Morpeth in Northumberland.

Ms Young is around 5ft 6in with a slim build. She was last seen wearing a dark blue fleece, dark top, black trousers and black high heeled shoes.

Inspector Scott Richardson said: "Given the passage of time and the fact we haven't heard from Margaret, we're increasingly concerned for her.

"It's possible she may go to the Morpeth area of England, but I'd ask anyone who has any information or has seen Margaret to call us."

Anyone with any information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
