Concerns for the welfare of a man who disappeared on Saturday are “growing increasingly”.

Selim El-Syed was last seen on East Hermitage Place in Edinburgh at around 7pm on Saturday.

The man is described as having a black receding hairline and of medium build. He usually wears a green scarf on his head.

“He is known to travel to Peebles and Perth.
