Hutchinson, 36, has not been seen since he left the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry, Edinburgh, at 1am on Wednesday.

He is described as white, 6ft tall with a stocky build, dark hair with a thick beard. He was last seen wearing a dark baseball cap, navy blue hooded jacket, grey or khaki trousers and white trainers.

The musician, who originally hails from Selkirk in the Scottish Borders but now based in Glasgow's Dennistoun, is believed to be in Edinburgh.

His fellow band-members have expressed their concern for his well-being on Twitter, noting his current “fragile state”.

We are worried about Scott, who has been missing for a little while now. He may be in a fragile state and may not be making the best decisions for himself right now. Please could Scott or anyone with any information on his whereabouts please contact Police Scotland (101).

Edinburgh police are appealing for information about his whereabouts.

“We are keen to locate Scott as soon as possible to ensure he is safe and well and would urge anyone who can assist with our ongoing inquiries to come forward,” Inspector Graeme Dignan from Drylaw Police Station, Edinburgh told the BBC this morning.
