A search has been launched for a Scot who hasn't been seen since leaving Glasgow Central Station on Christmas Eve.
Richard Hay has been reported missing from his home in Irvine, North Ayrshire and police are growing 'increasingly concerned'.
He was last seen leaving Central Station at around 1.30pm on Christmas Eve by a friend who had made arrangements to meet up with 34-year-old Richard late in the day.
However, Richard didn't show up nor did he visit his family over the Christmas weekend.
Richard is described as being around 5ft 9inches in height with brown cropped hair and police are now urging anyone with information to come forward.
An appeal shared by the Ayrshire Police Division says: "We are appealing for information that may assist us in tracing Richard Hay who has been reported missing from his home address in Irvine.
