Urgent search launched for woman last seen boarding Glasgow bus

An urgent search has been launched for a woman last seen boarding a bus in Glasgow on Saturday.

Beatrice Strang, from Shawlands, boarded the number 38 First Bus on Coustonholm Road at around 9.05am.

This bus travels to Glasgow City Centre and Glasgow Fort where the 86-year-old sometimes frequents.

She is described as White, 5ft2, very slim build, has brown/blonde hair and is wearing glasses. She is wearing a black mid-length coat, lilac jogging bottoms, black gloves.

Beatrice may appear lost or confused due to a medical issue, and she has mobility issues, requires a walking aid which she does not have with her so she will be unsteady on her feet.

Sergeant Alasdair Bisset, said: “We have been liaising with local bus and taxi companies in an effort to trace Beatrice. She is quite frail and would not usually leave home without telling her family, hence the concern.

“If you have seen her or have any information that will help police find her, please call officers on 101 quoting incident number 0911 of Saturday, April 11, 2026.”
