The 36-year-old, from the Wester Hailes area, was last seen at the Barn Park area of Edinburgh, with police putting up posters around the city, as well as conducting multiple extensive searches, but to no avail.

Stuart is described as being around 5’10 in height with short brown hair and was understood to be wearing a dark-coloured jacket, green hooded top with white ties and grey jogging bottoms at the time of his disappearance.

Stuart's mum stood bravely and delivered a short statement regarding her son to the media this afternoon, fighting back the tears as she appealed to any member of the public who may of seen or heard anything relating to Stuart, to come forward.

She said: "Stuart, if you are watching this, please get in touch. We are all worried about you and just want you home safe. If anyone has seen Stuart or knows where he is, can you please get in touch with me or the police.

"Its been nearly four weeks now and we just want you home safe and well, Stuart. Please, please get in touch."

Chief Inspector, Mark Hamilton, also offered an update on Stuart, urging members of the public to get in touch if they have seen or heard anything regarding Stuart's location.

He said: "It's almost four weeks to the day since anyone last saw Stuart, he was last seen in the Barn Park area of Wester Hailes on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 22. He's not followed any of his usual routines, and not been in touch with any of his friends or family either.

"We continue to ask the local public for their help in trying to trace Stuart. We've had officers out from different specialist departments, specialist searchers, our dog unit, helicopter and our diver marine unit, but so far, we've still not been able to find Stuart.

"We're also asking the public to please check their CCTV cameras. If you have a video doorbell or dashcam footage, check that too. No piece of information is too small, and it might be the key to finding Stuart."
