Concerns have been raised for the safety of a man who has gone missing overnight in East Lothian.

James Boyd was last seen at around 8.30pm in St Andrew Street in Dalkeith, near Edinburgh, on Saturday evening.

Since then the family of the 48-year-old have had no contact from him, causing them to alert local police of his disappearance.

Mr Boyd is described as being 5ft 8in tall, of slim build with brown/hazel eyes and brown short shaved hair. He is wearing a greyish brown zipped cardigan, a blue jumper and blue work trousers.

He is known to frequent the Dalkeith and Longniddry area, and police have asked locals to keep an eye out for him.

Police Inspector Andy Hill of Haddington police station said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for James as he is not in the best of health and we would like to make sure he is safe and well.

"We are asking for the public's assistance to trace him. Anyone with information is asked to contact us on 101."
