Hide AdPolice have described Mr Williamson as a white, 5ft 7 tall, large build, with short white crew cut hair. When last seen, he was wearing a navy waterproof jacket with 'Dudley Bowling Club' written on it and dark trousers with dark shoes.
Sergeant Richard Emerson of Leith Police station said: "Richard is an elderly man who has dementia which makes him very vulnerable. He is known to travel by bus so I would ask anyone who recognises his description and who may have seen him in the vicinity of Madeira Street, Leopold Place or elsewhere to please contact police immediately quoting incident number 2336 of 9 September."
