Chris Nelson: 'Not that type of laddie,' say parents

Police in Amsterdam have been searching waterways as they try to trace a Midlothian man who went missing in the city a week ago.

Chris Nelson, from Eskbank, had sent a text to his mother shortly before he set out for a walk around 06:00 on 15 November and has not been seen since.

His parents travelled to the Netherlands to try to find him.

Now back at home, they told the BBC that it was out of character for the 24-year-old not to contact his family.
