A heartbroken family have issued a desperate plea for a missing Scot to get in contact over a week on from her disappearance.
There is growing concern for Karen Stevenson, 42, who was last seen in the early hours of Sunday, 19 February.
Karen left her home in the Lairds Hill area at Seafar shortly after midnight.
She walked towards the city centre and continued towards Muirfield Community Centre near Brown Road and Fleming Road around 2.55am - this is the last time she was seen.
Cops say they have undertaken extensive searches, with dog units and other specialist resources drafted in.
However, the 42-year-old is yet to be found.
Her family have now issued an appeal, insisting that it is 'completely unusual' for Karen to vanish. They have also urged her to get in touch.
In a statement released today, her family said: “This is completely unusual for Karen and she has never been missing before.
“The whole family are really worried and would like Karen to get in contact with anybody to let us know she is safe.
“If anyone has any information at all then please contact the police as soon as you can."
Inspector Susan Rae, of Cumbernauld Police Station, said: “Extensive searches and enquiries have been carried out throughout the local area in an effort to trace Karen.
“These are continuing and we've been assisted by resources including specialist search advisors, and the dog unit. Officers have also been carrying out house to house enquiries and checking CCTV.
“I know our concern is shared by locals, and I would continue to urge anyone who thinks they may have seen Karen to get in touch as soon as possible. Any information, no matter how small, could help find her.
“If you have seen Karen since Sat 19 February, or have any information that may be relevant to our investigation please call 101 with reference 3369 of 19 February.”
Karen is described as 5ft 1ins, of slim build, with long brown hair.
She was last seen wearing a purple hooded jacket with a fur-lined hood, cream long sleeve t-shirt with a graphic design, black leggings, and black ankle boots.
She also may be carrying a small pink handbag, with metal studs and a chain strap.
