Appeal over missing man

POLICE are appealing for information to help trace a man who went missing from the Capital.

Mark Allan, from the Grassmarket, was last seen at Waverley train station around 3pm on Thursday, September 2.

He has since failed to make contact with family or friends and concern is now growing for his welfare. The 40-year-old has been known to travel to the south of England, particularly Devon and Cornwall.

Mark is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall with a slim build, pale complexion, light brown hair and a goatee beard. He speaks with an English accent.
