Fears are growing for a 15-year-old girl who hasn't been seen since last week – when she ran away from home on New Year's Eve.

Cops are desperately searching for schoolgirl Sophie O'Hagan, who vanished from her home town of Linlithgow, Scotland, on December 31.

She disappeared from Balderston Cottages at 6:20pm, and has not been heard from since.

But officers believe she has passed through Cumbernauld and Uddingston since fleeing home.

Sophie is believed to have been wearing a black jumper and blue jeans with grey trainers when she went missing.

She is 5ft5in with a slim build and has long auburn hair.

A picture of the schoolgirl shows her with a pink ponytail, which has since been dyed.

It is thought that she may be using trains to travel around Scotland as she is a frequent rail traveller.

Detectives believe she has links to the Glasgow and Lanarkshire areas.

Inspector Andrea Campbell from Falkirk Police station said: “Sophie has not been missing for a number of days.

"We are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare and are keen to locate her as soon as possible."

He added: "We have a number of police resources out looking for Sophie and know she has been in both Cumbernauld and Uddingston since she was reported missing on Tuesday, December 31.

"I would urge anyone who may have seen Sophie to contact us.

"Similarly, if Sophie is reading this, let us know that you are safe and well.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 2076 of Tuesday, 31 December 2019."
