Police are appealing for help to trace a vulnerable 96-year-old woman who has been reported missing from the Cowal area.
Lydia Burnet, who has dementia, was last seen by relatives at her home north of Otter Ferry at around 2.30pm this afternoon (Tuesday, 21 September).
She is described as white, 5ft 3in tall and of medium build with fair hair.
Lydia was last seen wearing a brown faun-coloured jumper, a knitted waistcoat with a Fair Isle multi-coloured pattern on the front and green on the back, khaki-coloured cord trousers and blue shoes.
Inspector Allan Kirk said: “Lydia is physically fit and often goes for short walks but it is out of character for her to be away for this length of time, and we are growing increasingly concerned about her. I am appealing to anyone who was in the Otter Ferry area earlier, and may have seen Lydia walking, to please get in touch.
“I would also urge people living locally to check any sheds or outbuildings in case she has sought shelter there. Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 2749 of Tuesday, 21 September, 2021.”
The appeal was made on the Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police Division Facebook page at 9:58pm this evening.
