A facial reconstruction of a woman whose body washed ashore two and a half years ago has been released by police.
The badly decomposed body was found near Helensdale Cottage, Drummore, Dumfries and Galloway, on 9 August 2017.
Police Scotland said it had been in the water for "some considerable time" and the woman was wearing Harry Potter underwear and size 10 jeans.
Experts at Liverpool John Moores University produced the reconstruction after efforts - locally and nationally - to identify her drew a blank.
Detective Sergeant Nadine Scott said: "Missing person reports across both the UK and internationally have been checked without success."
She added the reconstruction was "not a portrait of the face of the person, but a representation of the faced based on detail provided from the remains of the body".
"Her age is estimated to be young to middle-aged. When she was found she was wearing jeans, size 10, and pants which had a 'Harry Potter' logo on them," said DS Scott.
Police believe she was about 4ft 11in and weighed about 7.5 stones (48kg).
Anyone with any information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting the reference number 1241 9 August 2017.
