Police Scotland have launched a search for the 49-year-old, who is described as 5ft 6in and of slim build. She also has long, brown, wavy hair and usually wears blue jeans and a cream coloured sleeveless puffer jacket.

Officers said it is very out of character for Angela not to be in touch with her family, who reported her missing on Friday, April 21. Extensive enquiries are ongoing and police have asked for the public’s help to find her. Angela is also known to visit Glasgow and police are also carrying out searches there.

Sergeant Stephen Edmond said: “Angela’s family is understandably concerned and they just want to know she is safe and well. I would ask anyone who has seen Angela or who has any information as to her whereabouts to contact us.” Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 4130 of April 21.
