Police are appealing for information following the disappearance of an East Renfrewshire teenager.
Niamh Cockton, 15, from Clarkston, was last seen at around 11.00pm yesterday evening at her home in Williamwood Drive.
Her parents checked on her a short time after she went to bed and discovered she was gone from her room.
The teenager is around 5'4", with a slim build and light brown hair with blue streaks.
She was last spotted wearing dark skinny jeans, a black T-shirt with a mermaid on the front, a blue hooded top and dark shoes.
Inspector Alan Dickson said: "We have been carrying out extensive enquiries, speaking to family and friends in an effort to locate her.
"However, all attempts to find her have so far proved unsuccessful.
"We are becoming increasingly concerned for Niamh's welfare and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen or heard from her or who has any knowledge as to her whereabouts to contact us."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland 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
