The brother of a London woman whose remains were found on the outskirts of Edinburgh has visited the scene a year on from her disappearance.

Saima Ahmed is believed to have travelled to Scotland by train on August 30 last year.

The 36-year-old was not known to have any links to Edinburgh and her reasons for the journey are not known.

Her body was found off Gogarstone Road to the west of the city in January.

Detectives, who are liaising with Metropolitan Police, are treating the librarian's death as unexplained.

Ms Ahmed's brother Sadat joined detective chief inspector Martin MacLean at the scene on Tuesday to make a fresh appeal for information.

Officers in Edinburgh and London will also hand out leaflets at train stations in a bid to jog potential witnesses' memories.

Earlier this year, Mr Ahmed appeared on Crimewatch to discuss his sister's disappearance.

Ms Ahmed's family previously criticised the London-based police officers leading the initial missing persons inquiry for rating her disappearance as "low risk".

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the Metropolitan Police's handling of the case.
