Police have launched a desperate search for a missing 15-year-old girl who was last seen before the start of school on Friday.
Officers have carried out extensive inquiries to locate Rhya Laidlaw, but all attempts to locate the schoolgirl, from Leven, Fife, have so far been unsuccessful.
Rhya was last seen at about 8am on Friday and reported missing in the evening when she failed to return home, said Police Scotland, who are reviewing CCTV footage which may provide clues.
She was wearing a grey-coloured puffer anorak, grey scarf, black leggings and suede, mustard-coloured Adidas trainers.
Police have now asked the public for their help to trace the missing teen, the Daily Record reports.
Rhya is white and about 5ft 4in in height with a slim build.
She has brown eyes and brown hair that is long and straight.
Police said it is possible she may have travelled to the south-west area of Fife.
She has friends in that area, where a number of inquiries are taking place.
