Missing Scots doctor Cat Gaskell last seen walking into woods as concerns grow

Concerns are growing for an NHS worker who was last seen walking into the woods, with policing launched an urgent search.

Catriona, who is known as Cat, has been missing from her home in Cambuslang for nearly two days after vanishing on Saturday August 14.

The 29-year-old was last seen leaving her home in Fallow Grove at around 7.55 pm.

She was then spotted heading towards Red Deer Road and into the wooded area nearby.

The young medic has not been in contact with friends or family since, something police describe as 'very out of character'.

Cat has never been missing before, sparking a frantic police search to find her.

She described as white, 5 ft 9 in height, of slim build, blue eyes and has auburn hair.

When last seen she was wearing white and grey tartan zipper top and was carrying a small holdall.

Sergeant Stuart Hare, Rutherglen Police Station, said:"Cat has never been missing before and for her not be in touch with family or friends is concerning.

"Officers have been making local enquiries since she was reported missing and have been checking CCTV and liaising with local bus and taxi companies but so far no one has seen or heard from Cat.

"We would ask people, especially in the Fallow Grove/Red Deer Road areas to keep an eye out for Cat if they can or if anyone has doorbell camera, then to check the footage in case she has passed by.

"If you have seen Cat or have any information that will help us trace her, then please contact police via 101 quoting reference number 1769 of Sunday, 15 August, 2021.

"We'd also appeal to Cat herself and ask her to contact her family, a friend or police just to let people know she is ok."
