The police commander for Angus has made a public appeal for information about a Montrose woman who has been missing for more than a week.
Concerns are growing for the wellbeing of 51-year-old Lorraine McRae, from Hill Street, who was last seen on November 3.
On that date she went into the town’s Subway shop and police have now released a CCTV image from her visit to the High Street outlet.
Chief Inspector Gordon Milne said Lorraine was later seen on the southbound platform of Montrose Railway Station at about 5pm but she did not board a train.
He said: “Seven days have now passed since Lorraine was last seen or heard from and we are now very worried about her.
“She has not been in contact with any of her friends that we know about and has not been seen in any of the places she goes to on almost a daily basis.
“Lorraine is originally from the Aberdeen and Peterhead areas and moved to her flat in Hill Street about 12 months ago.
“She is a quiet and relatively private person. Her daily routine involves visits to the Montrose Library, Lloyds the Chemist, the Montrose High Street Post Office and the Subway food shop.
“She is well known in the town centre and although not many people would know her name, they would recognise her instantly as she was always cheery and spoke in the passing.”
Last Monday Lorraine was wearing a white jacket with a fur trimmed hood, blue skinny-leg jeans and white trainers.
She was carrying a light coloured canvas handbag over her shoulder.
She is about 5ft and is of very slim build.
Her hair is longer than shoulder-length and is naturally brown, with dyed blonde ends.
Mr Milne added: “Her disappearance is totally out of character and I ask that anybody who knows Lorraine or can help us find her, please get in touch with Police Scotland.
“All and any information is absolutely vital, so please contact us, no matter how insignificant you think the information might be. All we want to do is make sure Lorraine is safe and well.”
Anyone who knows where Lorraine is now or has any information that could assist police with their inquiries is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
Alternatively, information can be passed via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
