Police have released a CCTV image of a missing Scots woman's last sighting in a desperate re-appeal for information.
We previously told how Karen Stevenson left her home in Lairds Hill, Seafar, Cumbernauld, between midnight and 8.30am on Saturday, February 19.
She has still not been in touch since and police are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

She was seen at around 2.44am in a lift at the shopping centre off Tryst Road.
Cops believe she then walked towards the Muirfield Community Centre near Brown Road and Fleming Road and was there around 2.55am.

Officers are asking anyone with private CCTV or doorbell footage to get in touch.
Karen is described as 5ft 1ins, of slim build, with long brown hair.
She was wearing a purple parker-style jacket with a black fur-lined hood, a cream long sleeve t-shirt, black leggings, and black ankle boots. She also may be carrying a small pink handbag decorated with metal studs and with a chain strap.
