A CUMBRIAN father is pleading with the public to help find his missing daughter.

Andy Airey, who lives in the Eden Valley, spent yesterday sharing Edinburgh Police appeals in the hope someone may have seen 29-year-old Sophia.

Sophia, from Edina Street in the Leith area, was last seen in Corstorphine at about 2.30pm on Wednesday.

Police say she is believed to have been in the South Queensferry area at about 7.30pm on the same day.

Inspector Grant McCulloch said: β€œIt is extremely out of character for Sophia to not return home or keep in touch with loved ones and we are eager to locate her as soon as possible and ensure she is alright.”

Sophia is described as white, about 5ft 7in, of medium build, and has jaw-length brown/blonde hair.

Andy tweeted: "Please share, help us find our beautiful daughter."
