Police and family members have asked the public for help in tracing a Scots schoolgirl, who has been missing for almost a week.
Ellie Egan was last seen on Thursday, March 23 in her home town of Perth. Police said she attended school on that date, but did not return home.
She is described as 5ft 3ins with long brown hair, and when last seen was wearing a black puffer-type jacket and plain black leggings.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Extensive enquiries already conducted indicate that she is most likely in the East Kilbride area, and in the company of people known to her."
Ellie's grandmother Charmaine Bruce posted on Facebook also urging anyone with information to come forward. She said in her post that Ellie may now have dyed her hair blonde.
Anyone with information that could help police trace Ellie should call 101, quoting the incident number 3499 of March 23.
