Police are making further enquiries for a Scottish climate activist who was last seen in the Edinburgh and Kirkintilloch area.

Amy Campbell, who is known to visit the Edinburgh, Glasgow and Kirkintilloch areas, has not been seen by friends or family for over a month, reports the Daily Record.

The climate protester has not been seen since March 15, and had been reported missing two weeks ago at the Kirkintilloch police station.

Amy, who is normally very active online, has not posted on her social media accounts since the beginning of March. She is last believed to have been somewhere in Edinburgh or Kirkintilloch.

Police have confirmed that they are continuing their efforts to trace the missing activist. Climate protest group, Just Stop Oil, has also issued an appeal to their many followers on social media, urging them to get in touch if anyone has any information on her disappearance.

A group spokesperson told the Record: "She was formally reported missing two weeks ago and friends and family are very concerned.

"We are worried she is unwell or hurt as it's very unusual not to hear from her for this long. We just want her to get in touch to let us know she's okay."

In a post on Instagram, the group said: "Have you seen our friend Amy? We haven't seen her since March 15 and are worried. She is a passionate campaigner for social justice, climate justice and trans rights.

"She has supported so many of us in our struggles for fair pay, social housing, action on poverty and stopping climate breakdown."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Amy Campbell is still missing and enquiries are ongoing to trace her."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 2790 of April 4, 2023, or to speak to any police officer.
