Concern is growing for an elderly woman who has gone missing in Dumfries and Galloway.

Police are appealing for help to find Joyce Kirkland, 72, who was last seen within a house on Buchanan Street in Kirkcudbright at around 10 pm on Friday night.

She was reported missing at 4.50 am on Saturday morning. Joyce is described as around 5ft 6in tall, medium build with grey shoulder-length hair. It is unknown what she is wearing.

Sergeant Frank Parker, based at Castle Douglas, said: “We are concerned for Joyce’s welfare.

“She also has limited mobility issues due to problems with her knees so this may be noticeable as she would have to take regular rests when walking.
