Police Scotland say it is too early to confirm the woman’s identity, but confirmed the family of missing woman Carole Corbet, 49, had been informed of the discovery on Sunday.

She was reported missing from the Berryden area of Aberdeen last Thursday and an extensive air, land and sea search was carried out.

A spokesman said: “There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
