Police Scotland is urgently appealing for information about 25-year-old Eilidh Bell, who has been reported missing from Campbeltown. She was last seen in the Meadowburn Place area at around 1am on Friday, 28 August 2026.

Anyone who has seen Eilidh since that time, knows where she may be or has information that could help officers locate her should call Police Scotland on 101. Callers must quote reference 2351 of Sunday, 30 August 2026 so their information can be linked promptly to the correct enquiry.

Inspector Gavin McDevitt said it is unusual for Eilidh to lose contact with her family and friends. Concerns for her welfare are growing while extensive enquiries continue to find her and ensure she is safe and well.

Last confirmed sighting in Meadowburn Place

The police appeal places Eilidh in the Meadowburn Place area of Campbeltown at approximately 1am on Friday, 28 August. The information released by Police Scotland does not identify any confirmed sighting after that point.

Officers are therefore asking specifically for information covering the period since the early hours of Friday morning. A sighting after 1am, knowledge of where Eilidh may have gone or information about her present whereabouts could assist the continuing search.

The appeal carries the reference date Sunday, 30 August, two days after the last reported sighting. That date is part of the police reference and should be included in full when contacting officers: 2351 of 30 August 2026.

How to identify Eilidh Bell

Eilidh is described as 5ft 4ins tall and of slim build. She has long brown hair and brown eyes.

When she was last seen in Meadowburn Place, she was wearing:

An orange and black zebra-stripe top
Blue jeans

These clothing details relate to the confirmed sighting at around 1am on Friday. The police notice provides no further description or later confirmed location, so the released physical and clothing details are the key identifying information available to the public.

How to provide information to Police Scotland

Anyone who may have seen Eilidh after the confirmed Meadowburn Place sighting, or who may know where she is, is asked to contact Police Scotland by calling 101.

Callers should quote reference 2351 of Sunday, 30 August 2026. Providing that complete reference will identify the missing-person enquiry connected with the Campbeltown appeal.

Police Scotland said extensive enquiries remain ongoing to trace Eilidh and establish that she is safe and well. The identifying details, appeal for sightings and contact instructions were issued by Police Scotland News as concerns for her welfare continued to grow.
