Charles Rose, 89, was last seen at the Stewarton Area Centre around 9:30am on Wednesday 21 December 2016 when he sought some advice from a member of staff at the centre. He was reported missing to the police on Friday 23 December 2016.
Charles is described as around 5 ft 10 inches in height, slightly balding with grey hair. He is normally clean shaven and when last seen he was wearing green wellingtons, a green/ brown overcoat, green/brown trousers and carrying a rucksack.
