Police are searching for a missing veteran who vanished from Edinburgh. Murray Poole, 38, also known as Muzz, was last heard from at 8.15am on Tuesday, November 3. He is understood to have been last seen in the West Colonsay View area of the capital.

Vehicle and possible route

Police believe he could be travelling in his grey Volvo V40, with the registration SY19 FTT. According to officers, he is believed to be travelling west towards the Bannockburn area but could go as far as Forth Valley, Argyll and Bute, or the Highlands.

Murray is described as around 6ft 2ins tall, of heavy build, with a bald head and dark brown facial hair. It is not known what he could be wearing.

Appeal for information

Sergeant Michael Blyth said: “Concerns are growing for Murray’s welfare, and we are keen to trace him as soon as possible to make sure he is safe. I am appealing to anyone who has seen someone matching Murray’s description, or a grey Volvo V40, to contact officers.”

“We understand Murray may be travelling towards Forth Valley and potentially further into Argyll and Bute or the Highlands and would ask people in those areas to also be vigilant and come forward with any information.”

A statement from veteran media service Beacon Alert reads: "We are urgently appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of Murray Poole (known as Muzz), aged 38, a veteran who has been reported missing in Scotland. Murray has been missing since the morning of Tuesday, November 3, having last been seen in the Edinburgh area."

"There are extremely serious concerns for Murray's welfare following a distressing message sent to his brother before contact was lost. Anyone travelling through Stirling, Perthshire, Aberfeldy or the Scottish Highlands is asked to remain vigilant for Murray or his vehicle."

"We are asking our Beacon community, particularly our veterans and service families across Scotland to help spread this appeal. Time is critical, and even the smallest piece of information could help bring Murray home safely."
