Christine Robb, who has Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen in Haddington at around 2.45pm on Monday.
She was spotted at that time in Lodge Street, walking towards High Street, and was reported missing around and hour and a half later.
Police Scotland said inquiries have been carried out, but so far there have been no sightings of her.
She is described as 4ft 11ins, with a slim build and white hair.
She was last seen wearing dark trousers, a light blue or grey waist-length coat with a hood, dark beanie hat and brown boots with a fur lining at the top.
