A FINNISH tourist who went missing in Edinburgh 10 days ago has been found safe and well in the city.
Riina Elisabeth Sjögren, 38, was found at around 9am today in Palmerston Place, in the west end of the city centre.
The search started after she abandoned her belongings at Edinburgh Airport. She was last seen on CCTV at the York Place tram stop near the Playhouse at 10.20pm on January 9. In the days leading up to her disappearance her behaviour was said to have grown more erratic.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Officers in Edinburgh can confirm that 38-year-old Finnish tourist Riina Elisabeth Sjögren, who was last seen in York Place on Tuesday, January 9, has now been traced safe.
"Officers would like to thank members of the public and media who participated in our search."
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
