An Edinburgh woman who had been missing for more than 24 hours has been found safe and well.

Kirsty Dixon had not been seen since leaving her home in the capital at around 11.30am on Wednesday.

A major search was launched for the 41-year-old after local police officers issued an appeal on Thursday morning.

Kirsty was traced in Edinburgh shortly after the appeal was launched.

Police have thanked the public for their help.
