The daughter of a missing Scots dad has appealed for the public to help find him after his disappearance has let his family 'worried sick'.
Paul Mathews vanished from the Dundee city centre area leaving his distraught daughter Carrie Mathews, 35, 'unable to eat or sleep' until she finds him.
The 54-year-old who is described as having 'a missing leg, tattoos and scars' does not reside at a permanent address and has not been heard from across the last two days.
He was reported missing to police early this morning.
Carrie who, lives in Fofar, made an emotional plea on social media for him to come home and forget their 'ups and downs'.
She posted: "This is my dad Paul Matthews, he is 6ft, has blue eyes, a thin build has scars easily identified.
He is missing his right leg.
"He has tattoos of his kid's names on his hands and has tattoos all over his chest and back.
She continued: "Dad please get in touch cause I'm worried about you.
"Please come home to Forfar where you need to be, where I know you are okay.
"I know we have had ups and downs but you're still my dad and I love and miss you so much.
"If anyone knows anything about whereabouts let me know I'm worried sick.
"Any little info might not seem much to you but please contact myself as could mean a lot for my dad."
It is understood Paul had been sofa surfing and when a friend went to check on him, it became apparent he had not made contact with anyone in two days.
Now police are searching for him as concerns grow for his welfare.
Speaking to the Daily Record Carrie said: "I can't eat or sleep I am thinking of going and doing my own search today.
"He usually sat outside Boots or Greggs in Dundee.
"I feel awful I just want him to be safe.
"I can't stop crying it's too much.
"I had my lung removed last year and haven't been able to travel due to illness but now I'm blaming myself for not knowing where he is.
"I should have pushed harder for him to come home."
Police confirmed they are carrying out searches for the dad.
