Police have launched an appeal to find a woman and her son who have been missing since last week.

Linzi Davis, 36, and her eight-year-old son River Bain were last seen on Friday near Nairn train station in the Highlands.

The pair from nearby Auldearn have not been in contact with family or friends since and police say they are now "anxious" to find them.

The mother and son are said to have links in Nairn, Inverness and Forres. Officers say they may also have travelled to Edinburgh using public transport.

Ms Davis is described as 5ft 2in, of medium build with dark brown hair worn in a side parting. She has tattoos on the top of her right arm and on her collar bone.

River Bain is slim with short dark hair. It is not known what they were wearing when last seen.

Anyone with information of their whereabouts or are asked to call police on 101.

A Police Scotland spokesman added: "Officers would also appeal directly to Ms Davis to make contact by phoning 101 or via any police officer or police station."
