My wee Grampa (Billy Scott) has been gone for 11 days now. 😔 He’s 90. We are absolutely beside ourselves with worry. We’re desperate to find him. Please, if you saw him on Tue 11th Dec or have seen him since then, please call 101 & quote 3338 of 11th.

This is the 5th night my Grampa has been gone. It’s becoming harder by the day. He was last seen @ the Kirkgate in Leith. He’s 90yrs old. His name is William (Billy) Scott. He’s 5ft 1”. He’s a chatty man who loves a pint, a bet on the horses, & being amongst people. Here he is.
