Officers also boarded buses in the area between 9am and 11am.

Ms Reilly was a frequent user of local transport and officers spoke to passengers and handed out leaflets as part of their investigation.

She was reported missing on February 15 when she failed to turn up for some appointments.

Police Scotland has employed its underwater unit, dog branch and specialist search officers as part of their investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Bell said: “It is imperative that we do everything that we can to find Julie.

“I am hopeful that these operations will help jog people’s memories, reminding them of when they last saw her.

“We know she used local buses a lot and it’s possible some of the people who use these routes regularly may have seen her or spoken to her.

“I’m hoping the information we gather here will yield some positive results enabling us to follow up lines of inquiry which will lead us to locating Julie.
