A 14-YEAR-OLD girl has gone missing in Ayrshire, with police asking the public for help in trying to locate here.
Ellie McCann - who is 5 ft 6 and of slim build with brown shoulder-length hair - was last seen in Coylton around 6pm on Saturday.
She was last seen wearing a blue top, black shorts, black trainers and carrying a black rucksack.
Inspector Derek McDonald said: "Ellie’s family reported her missing last night (Sunday) and they are understandably worried about her as she has not been in touch with anyone as far as we are aware since she was last seen.
“I would appeal to anyone who may have seen Ellie or who has any information as to where she may be, to get in touch with us. We want to make sure she is safe and well.
“We’d also ask Ellie to come home. Everyone wants her to be safe.”
If you have any information that will help, please call Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 3889 of 10 September, 2023.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
