Police ScotlandA major search is underway for a missing 12-year-old who has not been seen since Saturday afternoon.
The last known sighting of Aaron Murray, from Edinburgh, was on Lochend Drive at around 3pm.
It is believed that he may have spent the night in the Tranent area but the schoolboy has not been in contact with any friends or family, who are growing increasingly concerned.
He is described as around 5ft with a slim build and blue eyes.
When last seen, he was wearing a black long sleeved t-shirt, black joggers and black trainers.
Concern for his welfare is now growing and police are appealing for information.
Inspector Grant McCulloch said: “We believed Aaron may have spent the night in the Tranent area and are appealing for anyone who may have seen Aaron, or who may have knowledge of his whereabouts to contact us.
“I would also appeal to Aaron himself to get in touch to let us know he is safe as his family are understandably worried about him.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101.
