Police Scotland

Police are appealing for information to help trace an elderly woman who has gone missing from her supported accommodation in Edinburgh.

Winifred Hogg, who is 75 years old, has health problems and sometimes uses a motorised wheelchair to get around. She does not rely on her wheelchair, however, and so maybe walking.

Winifred has not been seen since 10.30am when she appeared to be heading towards Morrison’s supermarket in Granton.

She is described as 5ft 2in tall, with short grey hair, glasses, and wearing a blue skirt, pop socks, flat black shoes and is believed to be wearing a blue coat. She may appear confused.

Inspector Alan Carson said: “We are urgently seeking to trace Winifred given her health issues. Anybody who recognises the description of Winifred or believes they may have seen her is asked to contact police immediately.”
