Concern is growing for a woman who has been reported missing from Edinburgh for about three days.
Alice Byrne, 28, was last seen at 2am on New Year’s Day in Bath Street.
Ms Byrne’s twin brother told the PA news agency that his sister was planning on going to a beach party at Portobello, but has not been seen since.
A missing person poster released by friends and family said Ms Byrne is 5ft 6in and was wearing a long black t-shirt, black jeans and an orange/mustard-coloured hoodie the day she went missing.
It included the numbers 07510 062 206 and 07864 797 730 to call if anyone has information about her whereabouts.
