Pictures have been released of jewellery worn by a woman whose body was recovered from the River Forth near South Queensferry.
Police hope the images will help them identify her.
The force said despite a previous appeal they’ve been unable to find out any information about the woman.
Officers received a report of a body in the River Forth off Society Road west of South Queensferry at around 9.45am on Saturday.
The woman was then recovered with the aid of the coastguard and her death is being treated as unexplained.
Police have now released photographs of jewellery the woman was wearing as well as images of her tattoos.
Detective Inspector Nick Brookfield of Police Scotland said: “Unfortunately, despite our previous appeal, we have not yet been able to find out who the lady is.
“We really want to let her family know what has happened so she can be brought home to them.

“The woman is in her late 20s to early 30s, is 5ft 5 in height, of slim build with dark shoulder-length hair which was dyed red.
“She has four small tattoos in a cluster on her outer leg above her right ankle, the four elements - earth, wind, fire and water symbols - and was wearing three necklaces, one silver with stars and the others thread-like material with pendants.”
He added: “At the moment we know nothing about her, where she came from or why she was in South Queensferry. She may not be from the area, nor indeed Scotland, however, as said, we have to find out who she is and alert her family.
“If you have any knowledge about who she is, where she was staying or anything about her or why and where she went into the water, then please call Livingston CID on 101.”
The force said a report on the woman's death will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.
