Police appeal for help to trace missing man who speaks limited English
Police in Edinburgh are appealing for the public's assistance in tracing a missing man from the north of the city.
Nihat Karani, 63, was last seen at around 9.30pm on Thursday, 3 July, 2025 in the Royston Mains Crescent area.
He left there on foot and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
He is described as around 5ft 6ins tall, of stocky build, with grey/white hair and a moustache.
He wears glasses which he has on a chain around his neck and was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and white trainers.
His first language is Bulgarian and he speaks limited English.
Inspector George Nisbet from Drylaw Police Station said: 'Nihat knows the city and is known to visit Edinburgh's park and green spaces, but he rarely does this alone.
'He walks with a walking stick which he had in his possession when he was last seen.
'We have a number of police resources looking for Nihat and I would ask anyone who may have seen him, or a man matching his description, to report this to us as soon as possible.'
Those with information should contact Police Scotland via 101 and quote incident number 0196 of 4 July 2025.
'Thank you to everyone who shared our earlier appeal.'
