Police are urgently trying to trace a woman missing from Edinburgh, who has been missing for four days. Officers have once again appealed for information to help trace Averil Shepley, who was last seen on Friday in the Marchmont are of the city.

The 47-year-old was last seen around 10.30pm on Friday, September 30. She is described as white, around 5ft 7in, of slight build, with short, dark hair.

When last seen, she was wearing a black woolly hat with toggles on each side and black trousers. It is believed she may be wearing a bright pink Goretex jacket and a black and red rucksack in her possession.

Chief Inspector Murray Tait, of Police Scotland, said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for Averil’s welfare and would urge anyone who may have seen her, or has any information on her whereabouts, to contact police. “Likewise, if Averil sees or hears about this appeal, please call us or your family, so we know you are safe and well.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 0090 of October 1, 2022.
