Maryam Arshad was last seen in the Ferry Road area of the capital at 4.45pm. Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.
The 24-year-old is described as being 5ft 7in tall and with long dark hair worn in a ponytail. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a pink lightweight summer jacket with maroon top underneath, patterned trousers with small flowers.
She also had a small, black cross-body black bag in her possession.
Inspector Caroline Flynn said : “We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a Maryam and would ask her to get in contact. Anyone who knows where she is, is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3581 of 20 July."
