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