The search for missing Glasgow mum, Lynn Tyeson, has entered it's fourth day.

The 48 year old from Cumbernauld was in Dumfries for a nightout with friends and was last seen crossing the Devorgilla Bridge around 3am on Sunday.

She was wearing a black and white stripey top and black trousers.

Major searches have already taken place along the River Nith and downstream towards the Solway Estuary town and divers from Police Scotland’s Marine Unit are carrying our searches in a number of areas, including the Caul and Devorgilla Bridge.

People living near the River Nith have also been asked to check their garden sheds and out houses for any sign of her.

Inspector Alan McGowan, who is currently managing the search said: “We are now appealing to those who live along the sides of the River Nith to take a few minutes out to have a look in sheds and outbuildings on their property just in case Lynn has taken shelter there.

"We have a large number of officers searching along the sides of the river at this time and will be checking gardens and other areas in this search.

“We are still keen to hear from anyone who may have spoken to Lynn in Dumfries in the early hours of Sunday morning, and again would like to hear from a dog walker who had two small dogs and who was in the area of the Mill Green around this time.

“Anyone with any information as to her whereabouts is asked to contact us via 101."
