Police searching for a missing Northern Irish man who did not catch his flight from Edinburgh back to Belfast have said he's been traced and is 'safe and well'.

27 year old James Reid was in the city for work and was supposed to leave on Wednesday evening but did not return to his hotel and missed his flight.

He didn't make contact with friends or family and police said they were increasingly concerned for his safety.

But a short time later they issued a statement saying they were "happy to confirm that James Reid from Northern Ireland was traced safe and well in Edinburgh earlier today."
