Investigators now suspect she may have entered the water near Dublin.

Forensic work has indicated she was aged between 30 and 50, was of thin build and between 4ft 11in and 5ft 4in tall.

She was wearing size 10 black Bay Trading trousers, a white BHS size 34c bra and tan-coloured tights.

The woman was missing her teeth, but may have worn dentures.

Speaking in 2021, Inspector Iain Milligan of Police Scotland said: "Missing person reports across the UK have been checked without success to this point.

"I appreciate the help that the Cold Case Unit at Glasgow Caledonian University has provided us with in our investigation over the past several months.

"I hope that people will take a look and see if they recognise this woman.

"We want to be able to reunite her with her family and also find out what happened to her."

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact locate.international or Police Scotland.
