The family of missing Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison has issued an emotional appeal for him to get in touch.

Speaking on Thursday, his parents pleaded with him to "just come home."

The 36-year-old has not been seen since leaving the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry at around 1am on Wednesday.

The singer, who is originally from Selkirk, was reported missing by his family.

Scott's mum Marion told STV: "We love you so much, just come home."

His dad Ron added: "Let us know you're OK."

Scott's brother Neil said the family were "worried sick."

He said: "Just make contact, let us know you're OK. We miss you terribly, we love you very much.

"You're much loved not just by the people that know you best, by a huge community around the world.

"Just send someone a text, let someone know you're OK, because we're worried sick about you.

"We just want you home and we miss you very much."

Police searching for the singer also appealed for information and for two people seen in the area at the time to come forward.

Chief inspector Alan Carson said: "It is important to stress that at this time we do not know definitively where Scott has headed after leaving the Dakota Hotel and the assistance of the public is therefore vital to help us with this investigation.

"Anyone who believes they have seen Scott since 1am on Wednesday morning should get in touch.

"In particular, the two people who crossed the Forth Road Bridge from South Queensferry at 1.10am may have useful information and we are extremely keen to speak with them."

He continued: "Similarly, though we would also urge others to come forward if they have any other information relevant to our investigation.

"Finally, I'd like to reiterate our appeal to Scott directly, to make contact with family, friends, or with police and let us know where you are."
