Lorna Ferguson: Police search for missing 71-year-old with dementia

Police Scotland have issued an urgent appeal to try and locate a missing woman in Edinburgh.

Officers in the capital have reached out to the public to help them find missing 71-year-old Lorna Ferguson.

Lorna, a local resident, was last seen exiting out of Pilrig Park, Edinburgh, around 11am this morning, Saturday 30 January, 2021.

Since then, she has not been seen or heard from by friends or family.

Diagnosed with dementia, Lorna's family have been left "extremely concerned", and are desperate to know she is safe and well.

According to police, she is white, around 4 ft. 10 inches in height, with a medium build, and short silver hair.

She was wearing beige coloured trousers, walking boots and a green Rab puffer jacket.

At the time of her disappearance, she was walking her dog, a brown coloured cockapoo, with a luminous yellow, extendable lead.

Officers added:

"Extensive enquiries are under way to locate Lorna, but efforts so face have provide unsuccessful. Officers are checking CCTV footage for any additional information which could assist in the inquiry.

"Anyone who has seen or has any knowledge as to Lorna’s whereabouts is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1733."
