Despite a previous appeal and a full check of missing person reports, we have not been able to establish who she is, and we are re-appealing to the public for any assistance so we can notify her next-of-kin.”
As part of the ongoing enquiry, police have been studying CCTV footage from the area.
They are currently working to identify a young woman who was seen on Wednesday, January, 27 in the Rosemarkie area.
The woman was wearing a distinctive light-coloured mac-style raincoat, a brimmed hat, dark-grey leggings and thick-soled shoes.
They are yet to confirm her identity but cannot rule out that she may be the woman discovered on the beach.
Anyone who recognises that description should contact police.
Detective Inspector Still, continued: “I’m also appealing for witnesses who may have seen a woman looking upset in the local area last week.
"Alternatively, if you have concerns about a female family member or friend who matches this description and has not been in contact, then please let us know.”
