The family of an Edinburgh man who was last seen six months ago have launched a fresh appeal alongside Police Scotland and the Missing People charity as they refuse to give up hope of finding him.
Stuart Campbell vanished from the Spylaw Park area, near the Water of Leith, on March 22, with his mum Jane issuing a heartbreaking statement in April pleading with him to come home.
Unfortunately, there has been no sightings since and the disappearance of the 36-year-old remains a mystery. Police released the most recent image of Stuart on April 29 when he was seen at a Co-op store in Colinton.

To mark six months since vanishing, details of a new appeal will be appearing in a digital advertising board at Edinburgh Waverley Station over the next four days along with a new image of Stuart taken on the day he was last seen, reports the Scottish Daily Express.
Jane Campbell, Stuart's mother, said: "I know everything that could have been done has been done, but I am not giving up on finding him. I would urge anyone with information about his disappearance to come forward to assist the police investigation."
He is described as a white male, 5ft 10in with a skinny build, and short brown hair. He has tattoos on his left arm including Arabic writing, a further tattoo of "ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME", and the date of birth of his only son.
Members of the public who wish to help trace Stuart are being encouraged to visit the dedicated webpage for the appeal and download his missing poster.
Missing People's Publicity Officer, Ndella Senghore, said: "If anyone has any information about Stuart's disappearance, they can contact Missing People's helpline.
"Stuart, if you are reading this, please get in touch. You can call us on 116 000 or email 116000@missingpeople.org.uk. Our service is non-judgemental, confidential, and free thanks to support from players of People's Postcode Lottery.

Chief Inspector Mark Hamilton, Area Commander for South West Edinburgh said :“We are continuing to appeal for information six months on from Stuart’s disappearance as it is extremely frustrating for us all not knowing what has happened to him.
“Our investigations continue and we have carried out extensive searches led by the information we have had available to us. I want to reassure Stuart’s family and friends that a missing person enquiry is never closed and pleased be assured we will act of any new information that comes to light regarding his disappearance.
“Stuart is described as being 5ft 10 inches tall, with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured jacket, green hooded top with white ties and grey jogging bottoms.
