Search for 90-year-old missing man William Scott in Edinburgh

_104771999_comp.png


Neighbours reported William Scott missing on Tuesday from Chesser.

Initial inquiries found he had been in the Foot of the Walk pub in Leith at 15: 45 and Greggs in the Kirkgate Centre at 16:00 but no further trace has been found.

Police said they are "extremely concerned" because of his age and recent poor health.

Mr Scott is white, around 5ft 1in with balding, white hair. He regularly wears glasses and was last seen wearing a navy jacket, grey trousers and a dark flat cap.

"William uses the bus every day to travel around Edinburgh or further afield.

"We are liaising with the bus companies but he may have travelled outwith the capital, so if you think you may have seen him in Edinburgh or elsewhere in South East Scotland or the Central Belt, please call."

William Scott: Police confirm new sighting of missing Edinburgh pensioner

His granddaughter Charlotte Gibson told the Evening News that her grandad is “very caring and thoughtful” and “still goes round to neighbours to see if they need milk or bread or offer to clean their windows.”

He enjoys travelling by bus but he sticks to his routine and he’s “always glad to get home again and get settled”.

Can’t stop thinking about this poor man and his family. It’s so cold at the moment. Sorry I don’t have anything practical to add Hay Louise. My fear from reading websleuths is of course the water. Are you from Edinburgh? Foot of Leith walk is quite far from chesser so a lot of ground and a lot of cctv to cover in between. From his granddaughter’s Twitter it sounds as though police are being very proactive but a week is a long time.

Rest in peace, William Scott, and I hope your family finds peace as well.

I live nearby and walked past where he was found a few times over the holidays. It's a weird feeling. It's about two blocks downstream from where he was last seen, so I'm sure nobody was surprised, but it's spooky to think how long he must have been there out of sight while so many people walked past.
