Police have deployed a drone near Portobello beach in the search for missing woman Alice Byrne.
Alice, 28, hasn't been seen since leaving a friend's flat on Marlborough Street around 10am on Saturday January 1.
She is described as white, around 5ft 6ins in height and of medium build with short black hair. When she was last seen she was wearing an orange jacket, black top, black jeans and white trainers. She was carrying a black rucksack.
Inspector Keith Scott said: “It is out of character for Alice not to keep in contact with her family and friends. We are becoming increasingly concerned for her wellbeing and we are working to trace her as soon as possible to ensure that she is safe and well.
"Searches and enquiries have been ongoing since she was reported missing, and we are now asking the public for any assistance they can provide."
