Officers are trying to identify a woman whose body was pulled from water near Edinburgh.

A report was received of a body seen 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 HM Coastguard and her death is being treated as unexplained.

Officers are now appealing for information which could help identify her.

She is described as approximately early to mid-30s, 5ft 5in tall and of slim build.

The woman has dark shoulder-length hair which was dyed red.

She has four small tattoos in a cluster on her outer leg above her right ankle, consisting of a fire symbol and a symbol similar to multiple apostrophes in a circle.

Officers say she was wearing two necklaces, both of a thread-like material.

One was red/orange in colour and the other green, while the other had small silver stars and the other green gemstones.

A report is to be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
