Police are attempting to trace a missing man from the Jedburgh area.
58-year-old William Notley was last seen at around 10am on Monday, February 8, leaving an address in Bongate Gardens.
Described as around 5ft 6ins, he has a slim build, and is dark skinned with receding short brown hair and an English accent.
At the time of going missing, it is thought William was wearing heavy black trainers, olive green trousers, an olive green polo shirt, a grey and black zip up cardigan, a navy blue padded waistcoat and a navy blue hat.
As he sometimes sleeps outdoors or in remote farm buildings and barns, police are growing particularly concerned for his welfare, particularly due to the recent low temperatures.
Inspector Mike Bennett, who is based in Galashiels police station, urged anyone who may have any information about William's whereabouts to come forward.
He added: “We are carrying out various inquiries in the area in an effort to trace William as quickly as possible.
“I urge anyone who has seen him or has information on his possible whereabouts to contact police immediately on 101 or speak to any officer.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
