At the time of the appeal she had last been seen on Saturday, March 26 around 2.30pm near Howgate and concern was growing for her welfare.

However, it appears that the appeal had some success, with police reporting this morning that the youngster had been traced safe and well.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Jamie Lea McCall, who was the subject of an earlier missing persons' appeal, has now been found safe and well.

"Thank you to everyone who shared the appeal."
