Officers are appealing for the assistance of the public in tracing 62-year-old Dorothy Summers who has been reported missing from her home in Ayr.

Dorothy was last seen in the Whitletts area around 9am on Thursday, 23 October, 2025.

She is described as white, 5ft 1ins, medium build, with long, curly brown and grey hair.

Inspector Lorraine Scobie said: "It is completely out of character for Dorothy to be away from home and not keep in regular contact with her family. They are extremely concerned and we want to trace her as soon as possible to ensure that she is safe and well.

"Dorothy mainly uses buses to travel locally in Ayrshire, however, she has travelled to Dundee previously.

"As our enquiries and searches continue, I would urge anyone who was seen Dorothy or who has any information on her whereabouts to please contact us. I'd also ask Dorothy herself to contact us if she sees this appeal."

Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting incident number 2103 of 24, October, 2025.
