Frantic search launched for dad who disappeared in Edinburgh as son makes online appeal

Police have launched an urgent search for a missing Scots dad who disappeared earlier today.

David Calvert was last seen in the Carrick Knowe area of Edinburgh at roughly 1.55pm.

The 41-year-old is described as 5ft 11in in height, of muscular build, with short brown hair and blue eyes. He also has several distinctive tattoos on her neck, arms and hands.

David was last seen dressed in a black Nike Tech tracksuit and grey and blue Nike Air 95 trainers. He was also carrying a small black North Face bag.

David's son, who shares the same name of his dad, has shared an appeal on Facebook in a bid to trace his father. Sharing a picture of him with his dad, he wrote: "Anyone seen or heard from my dad today, he’s missing if anyone knows where he is please let me know asap."

Inspector Graeme Dignan said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to trace David and I am appealing for anyone who has seen David or who has any information on his whereabouts to contact us. I would also appeal to David himself to get in touch with local officers.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact 101 quoting reference 1891 of May 21, 2023.
