Concern growing for missing Edinburgh man last seen wearing 'beige trench coat'

Concern is growing for a missing Edinburgh man last seen during the early hours of Friday morning.

Police have launched an appeal to help trace 26-year-old Martin Moran who disappeared from the Balerno area around 6am on Friday, November 18.

Martin was last sighted near Larch Grove House and it is believed that he walked in the direction of Bridge Road, also in Balerno.

Concerned friends and family are understood to be organising a search party in Balerno to increase efforts in tracing Martin. He is described as white, around 6ft, of slim build, with short fair hair.

When last seen he was wearing a beige trench coat, black trousers, black shoes and a black hat.

Locals have also reported hearing the force helicopter searching the area from above for Martin as the community have become increasingly worried.

Sergeant Gary Stout said: “Martin’s family are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and I am asking anyone who may have seen him or knows where he is to get in touch.

“If you can help please call us on 101, quoting reference number 1479 of Friday, 18 November, 2022.”
