Concerns are growing for a woman who went missing overnight in Kirkcudbright.
Police Scotland are appealing for information to help trace 72-year-old Joyce Kirkland.
Joyce was last seen at around 10 pm on Friday, March 12 within a house on the town's Buchanan Street, and was reported missing at 4.50 am on Saturday.
She is described as around 5ft 6in tall, medium build with grey shoulder-length hair. It is unknown what she is wearing.
Officers say they are growing concerned for Joyce's welfare.
Sergeant Frank Parker, who is based at Castle Douglas, said: "She has limited mobility issues due to problems with her knees so this may be noticeable as she would have to take regular rests when walking.
"Her family are extremely concerned, she has not been reported missing before and we are appealing for anyone who has seen Joyce to contact us.
"Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 0645 of 13 March 2021."
