Woodland search in Midlothian for missing man Ross Taylor

A wide-ranging search has taken place in Midlothian amid ongoing efforts to trace missing man Ross Taylor.

There's growing concern for the 30-year-old after he was last seen at his home in Mayfield on Sunday.

On Monday, mountain rescue teams combed a large area of woods and open ground around Newbattle, but no sign of him was found.

Alongside police officers, 32 mountain rescue personnel were involved along with search and rescue dogs and a drone search team.

Tweed Valley Mountain rescue wrote on Facebook: "Special thanks go to Tesco Dalkeith for sorting us all out with refreshments.

"Large areas of woodland and open space were searched in the Newbattle area but with no success.

"We have now stood down for the evening, pending further information."

Anyone with information on Ross' whereabouts can call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 2570 of 31st March 2019.
