Police are asking the public for help in tracking down a missing Kirkcaldy man.

Scott McLaren was last seen on Sunday (January 1st) around Midday.

He's described as 5ft 11in tall, with grey short hair and of a medium build.

Last time Scott was spotted he was wearing a burgundy next hooded top, black adidas tracksuit bottoms and black adidas trainers.

Officers have now released some images they hope can help find Scott.

He's believed to be driving a white Ford Mondeo Taxi with the registration DA13 CAB - it's got the branding for JJ's taxi in black on the side of the car.

Images taken from CCTV footage in the Coatbridge area around 9am today (January 3rd) show Scott and the taxi.

It is believed that he has since travelled north in the direction of Stirling.

“We are working to establish his movements after leaving his home in Kirkcaldy and any sightings of Scott or the taxi could help us do that.
