MISSING deaf mum Kirsty Aitchison was last seen walking barefoot in the Broomielaw area of Glasgow city centre, CCTV has confirmed.

The 30-year-old has not been in touch with her loved ones since the early hours of Sunday, June 12, after leaving friends following a night out at popular bar Campus.

It had been thought that she got into a taxi upon leaving the Sauchiehall Street spot, but after examining footage from that time, police have revealed more about her whereabouts.

It is now known that she made her way down from Sauchiehall Street to Argyle Street, then on to James Watt Street before moving to the Broomielaw, where she was last viewed on CCTV at 316am "walking with purpose".

The footage also confirms that Kirsty, who has four children, was wearing the same clothing as she had been when she was with pals - a black top, cream skirt and high-heeled black sandals

A British Sign Language user, she is around 5ft in height, of slim build and has long dark-coloured hair.

Inspector Leigh McManus, from Greater Glasgow Division, said “Officers have been working through the night to piece together Kirsty’s movements from when she left Campus in the early hours of Sunday morning.

“We have managed to track her route. From CCTV we can see that Kirsty had taken her shoes off and was walking quickly and with purpose."

“There is no suggestion that Kirsty entered a taxi or any vehicle although we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen her walking down to the Broomielaw and then crossing over the road."

Inspector McManus made a further appeal to people who have any information that may help trace Kirsty to make themselves known.

She added: "Officers are carrying out enquiries in the city centre and the public are urged to approach them with any concerns, or get in touch via 101 or the dedicated email address, kirstyenquiry@scotland.pnn.police.uk.”

This development comes after police searched Kirsty's Robroyston home earlier today.

Around 10 officers arrived at the house in the quiet suburb this morning as they search for clues surrounding her disappearance.

Friends and family have also been frantically looking for her since the last confirmed sighting two days ago, saying it is very out of character.

Making heartfelt pleas for her return on social media, they have also been scouring her hometown and the surrounding areas.

One of Kirsty's interpreters with Deaf Connections, Rachel Galloway, told website Glasgow Live that there is real concern that she may be unable to ask for help if she is in trouble.

"It's not like her, it's really really not like her. She went on a night out and has disappeared off the face of the earth", Rachel explained.

"My worry is that if something has happened to her, it's going to be very difficult for her to tell someone she needs help.
