Police are appealing to the public in order to trace missing man Ronald Fleming.

Ronald Fleming, aged 38, left the Western General Hospital at around 4pm today (Thursday, February 5). He was last seen at 17.20pm in the South Clerk Street area of Edinburgh.

Police are growing increasingly concerned for Ronald’s welfare and are appealing to the public to help trace him.

Ronald is described as a white man, around 5ft 10″ with a stocky build. He has an olive complexion and short dark hair with a centre parting (described as curtains). He also has a thin scar, which runs from his right eye to his chin.

At the time he went missing he was wearing a red waterproof jacket with silver reflective panels at the front, navy coloured jeans and black shoes.

Ronald has a serious medical condition which requires medication. Without this medication he may appear confused.

Inspector Gill Geany said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Ronald’s welfare and it is essential that we trace him as soon as possible.

“Anyone who has seen Ronald, or now his whereabouts, is asked to contact police immediately.”
