Inspector Arlene Pollock said: “It is completely out of character for Scott to not be in touch with his family and we are extremely concerned for his welfare.

“I would appeal to anyone in the East Kilbride, Ayr or Dalmarnock areas who think they may have seen Scott, or someone matching his description, to please contact us right away.

“Scott, if you see this appeal, please get in touch with us or your family so we can make sure you are safe and well.”

Anyone with information is urged to call 101, quoting reference 2358 of October 21, 2024.
