BBC Scotland at Waterfront Gait as well as some police. Strong police presence around Ferry Gait as you'd expect plus Helicopter quite far West while I was there. </p> <p>A few folk out and about looking but not that many, and as I was cycling I couldn't investigate everything in the wooded bits around the path - when you start looking there's a lot of stuff that looks potentially investigable. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12057#post-140120 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:40:48 +0000 chdot 140120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> 1.20pm: Police say the Waterfront Gait activity is not connected to the search for Mikaeel. </p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/missing-mikaeel-kular-detained-man-not-connected-1-3270452" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/missing-mikaeel-kular-detained-man-not-connected-1-3270452</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12057#post-140113 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 13:40:55 +0000 cb 140113@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/missing-mikaeel-kular-police-focus-on-granton-flats-1-3270452">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/missing-mikaeel-kular-police-focus-on-granton-flats-1-3270452</a></p> <p>"A Police operation is under way at Waterfront Gait in Granton which is connected to the disappearance of missing three-year-old Mikaeel Kular.</p> <p>Witnesses reported seeing large numbers of police arriving at the block of flats within the last hour." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12057#post-140110 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 13:25:32 +0000 SRD 140110@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"@AdamMorrisEdin</p> <p>Some amount of cops down at Waterfront Gait, riot gear out and everything."</p> <p>news reports confirming it is linked to missing boy </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12057#post-140102 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:53:26 +0000 SRD 140102@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Algo - and others - people who want to help in the search are being encouraged to meet: </p> <p>12 noon<br /> North Edinburgh Arts Centre<br /> Muirhouse </p> <p>(sorry for late posting; tried earlier but got an error after hitting 'send' and then couldn't get back in) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12057#post-140094 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:59:37 +0000 algo 140094@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I really feel for his family - I hope he's ok.
