Scott Hastings, the renowned former Scottish rugby player, and his family are facing an incredibly difficult time as Jenny Hastings, Scott’s wife, has been reported missing after a swim in Wardie Bay, Edinburgh. The news has deeply shaken the community, as Jenny, who loved the water, went for a swim in the Firth of Forth on Tuesday and failed to return.

Emergency services were alerted by a "report of concern" at around 2:45 pm that day. Despite the quick response, which included coastguard rescue teams, lifeboats, a helicopter, and other nearby vessels, the search concluded without any findings and was called off later that evening at 8:20 pm. Meanwhile, Police Scotland has continued their investigation, classifying Jenny’s disappearance as a "high-risk missing person case."

The Hastings family released a heartfelt statement, revealing their deep sorrow and fear surrounding her disappearance. The family shared that Jenny had been dealing with mental health challenges for decades and acknowledged the possibility that her swim, which had once been a source of healing, might have tragically taken a different turn.

Scott and Jenny had long been advocates for mental health awareness, having worked closely with mental health charities.
