Port Logan Woman

A body found near the high tide line in Port Logan, and 17 years later it all remains a mystery. Can you help us return Port Logan woman’s name to her?

Living Depiction by Facelab

A woman’s body was recovered from the high tide line on Port Logan beach, Dumfries and Galloway on 22nd November 2006.

We are referring to her as Port Logan Woman, but in life she would have had a name. We would like your help in returning this to her.

Port Logan Woman was between 4’11” and 5’4″ tall and between 30 – 50 years of age in 2006, although she may have been older. She is believed to have been in the water for up to 6 months so she may have gone missing in the spring or summer of 2006.

Port Logan Woman was of thin build and she had no teeth. However, she may have worn dentures in life. She was found wearing a white or light coloured 34C bra from BHS, white or light coloured knickers and brown or tan tights underneath a pair of black, size 10 Bay Trading trousers.
