The car of a pensioner missing from Lanarkshire has been found on the South Ayrshire coast.
Sheena Gary was reported missing almost seven days ago from Gartcosh in North Lanarkshire.
Her car, a silver Kia Picanto, was spotted yesterday parked at an A77 layby outside the village of Lendalfoot near Girvan.
Specialist search officers and coastguard have been called in to the area to conduct searches.
Air support was used this week as officers combed the beach and a nearby landfill.
It is understood villagers joined in with the search in a desperate bid to find the elderly woman.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are continuing to search for missing person Sheena Gray, 82, from Gartcosh, Lanarkshire.
"Sheena was last seen around 4pm on Saturday, 12 November, 2022, in the Manor Road area of the town.
