Concerns are growing for a man who was reported missing near a college in Ayrshire.

Alexander Singerman was last seen on the B743 near the Scotland's Rural College campus at Auchincruive in South Ayrshire.

Police said the 32-year-old, who lives in Glasgow but works in Ayr, was walking towards the village of St Quivox around 11.10am on Wednesday.

Officers have launched an appeal to find Mr Singerman, which has been shared widely on social media.

Sergeant Chris Cochrane said: "Mr Singerman has not been in contact with anyone since he was last seen on Wednesday morning and as such his family are becoming increasingly concerned for his well-being.

"Anyone who has seen Mr Singerman since Wednesday morning or anyone who knows of his present whereabouts is asked to contact police at Ayr immediately.

"I also urge Mr Singerman himself to contact either his family or police to let us know he is safe and well."

Mr Singerman is described as 6ft with short black hair and brown eyes, is clean shaven and has a sallow complexion. When last seen he was wearing a red and black check lumber-style jacket.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 101.
