POLICE are searching for a Finnish tourist who went missing in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
Riina Elisabeth Sjogren, 38, left Edinburgh Airport at about 8.50pm after buying a plane ticket she did not use and abandoning her belongings.
She travelled back into the city centre by tram arriving at York Place at 10.20pm.
She is described as white, 5ft 6ins, of medium build with shoulder-length dark brown hair and wearing glasses.
Inspector Gill Lundberg said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who recognises Riina and who may be able to help us trace her.
"Similarly, if Riina sees this appeal herself, we would ask her to get in contact to let us know she is safe."
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers on 101.
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
