A fresh appeal has been made to track down a missing Cumbria woman who is believed to have travelled to Loch Doon.

Mary Monkman, 49, is believed to have travelled to the Ayrshire hotspot in her car- a red Nissan Juke.

Its registration is L400 MGM.

Mary was last seen driving near to Loch Doon around 4pm on Friday, June 16, 2023.

She is described as being around 5ft 10ins with long, wavy, auburn hair which she often wears in a bun.

She wears glasses and was last seen wearing a green and white floral top and blue leggings, as pictured.

Inspector Jennifer McCulloch said: “Officers, assisted by other resources, have been carrying out extensive searches in the area of Loch Doon since Mary was reported missing. Despite these efforts and previous appeals, we have yet to trace Mary.

“This is a very difficult time for Mary’s family as it is completely out of character for her to go missing. We are continuing to search the area in which she was last seen.

“I would ask anyone who lives in the area or who was in the area on Friday, June 16, to cast their mind back and see if they remember seeing Mary or someone matching her description in the area.

“I would encourage anyone who has seen Mary since Friday, June 16, or who has any information on her whereabouts to contact us as soon as possible quoting reference 2648 of Saturday, June 17, 2023.”
