Police say they are increasingly concerned for the well-being of an elderly man who has gone missing from his home in East Dunbartonshire.

Neil McFarlane, 86, was last seen by his family at his home in Craigmaddie, Milngavie at about 6.45pm on Sunday.

He has since been reported missing to police.

Mr McFarlane is described as white, 5ft 9in tall, of medium build and bald.

He was wearing a brown hat with a rim, a tweed jacket, blue shirt, black trousers and tan coloured shoes.

Sergeant Alan Ferris from Kirkintilloch said: "As time passes, his family and police are becoming increasingly concerned for his wellbeing.

"Mr McFarlane suffers from dementia and although he is 86 years of age, he is active and is known to walk considerable distances.

"He also uses buses and has previously stayed on them until the end of their route, so he has been located before as far as Balfron and Buchanan Street bus station.

"We are currently carrying out searches and enquiries to trace Mr McFarlane and I would urge anyone who may have seen him, or anyone with any information on his whereabouts to contact Kirkintilloch Police Office through 101.

"I would also ask local residents to check their gardens, or any outbuildings in case he has taken shelter there, and contact police with any information."
