An Edinburgh woman has vanished from her home sparking an urgent police appeal.
Police are searching for missing Veronika Necasova who disappeared from the Wester Hailes area of the city.
They believe the 34-year-old Czech woman may have travelled north into Fife or further afield.
She was last seen in Calder Park, in the Wester Hailes area of Edinburgh, around 2pm on Monday.
Friends and family are growing 'increasingly concerned' for her safety as it is unusual for her not to be in touch with them.
Veronika is described as white, 6ft, slim to medium build, with long brown curly hair.
When last seen she was wearing a purple coat with an aqua blue lining, a purple scarf, black skirt, black leggings, and black shoes. She was also carrying a cream backpack with a distinctive brown top flap.
Inspector Claire Masterton, of Wester Hailes Police Station, said: “It is unusual for Veronika not to be in touch and we are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.
"It is possible she may have travelled to Fife or even further north.
“It is not known if she has taken public transport or not, but I would ask anyone who has seen a woman fitting Veronika’s description at a bus station, a train station or even on the main routes north to get in touch.
“If Veronika sees this appeal, then we ask her to contact us or her family to let us now she is safe. Likewise, anyone with information that may help please contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 2158 of Monday, 15 June, 2020."
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Missing woman Veronika Necasova may have travelled to the Tayside area from Edinburgh, if you can help find her please call 101, quoting incident 2158 of Monday, 15 June, 2020."
