Police say they are "significantly" concerned for an elderly man who has been missing for almost a week.

Robert McLaren was last heard from on Friday and has not been seen in the six days since.

The 70-year-old, who lives in the Letham area of Perth, was reported missing from his home at Appin Terrace.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "He is described as being 5ft 7in tall, is of large build, has a pale complexion and a balding head with short grey hair around the sides.

"He has connections to the Coupar Angus area and is known to walk in the area of Jeanfield Road and the North Inch, Perth.

"There are significant concerns for Robert’s welfare and anyone who knows him or has seen a man matching his description is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101."
