Police searching for two missing girls said both have now been found safe and well.
In two separate appeals, officers said they were concerned for 12-year-old Kirsty Gallagher, from Kirkcaldy, and 14-year-old Ellie Fleming, from Johnstonebridge in Dumfries and Galloway.
Both had been reported missing from their homes, but on Sunday morning Police Scotland confirmed that the two girls had been located.
The teenager was possibly spotted in Carlisle town centre on Saturday, according to an update from the force, before being found overnight.

A search was also launched after Kirsty failed to return home and had not been seen since 8pm on Friday – and there were fears she may have travelled to the Kelvinside or Maryhill areas of Glasgow.
However, in the early hours of Sunday morning, Fife Police wrote on Twitter: “We would like to thank the public for sharing our appeal for Kirsty Gallagher.
“She has been traced, safe and well.”
