Police appeal for information after 82-year-old reported missing

James Campbell from Broughty Ferry, who was reported missing on Monday,

James Campbell, left his home address in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, at around 6pm on Sunday with the intention of walking on the West Highland Way, but is thought to have been in the Midlothian area.

Personal items belonging to Mr Campbell were found at Mugdock Country Park, near Milngavie, during the morning of Monday (May 19) and he was then reported missing.

He has not been seen since leaving his home but he is believed to be travelling using his car - a blue Honda Jazz, registration SP62 XAX - which was subsequently seen on the A7 Old Dalkeith Road near to Danderhall shortly after 2.40pm on Monday.

Mr Campbell is described as white, 5ft 4in tall and of stocky build with grey or white hair and a beard.

He was last known to be wearing a blue fleece and trousers. He may have been carrying a black rucksack.

Inspector Phil McIntosh said: "We are working to establish James's movements since he left home and would urge anyone who may have seen him or his car at any time since Sunday evening to get in touch urgently. "Anyone who thinks they may be able to help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 0823 of May 19, 2025."
