The Irish public is being urged to help identify a body found on a Scottish beach 16 years ago.

The woman's body was washed up on a beach in Stranraer in 2006.

Searches and appeals in the UK have failed to yield any clues as to the identity of a woman known only as Port Logan Woman, named after the beach she washed up on.

This is probably a reach, but I see a few similarities between missing Dublin women Claire Boylan.

She has a websleuths thread here:

It’s probably not her since there’s a 3 year unexplained gap, but I can see a similarity in the photo. Both from Dublin, both between 30-50 and both in the range of 5’4.

Thoughts?

I just stumbled onto this thread today. Wow! So strange and very sad! Why are so many people missing in Scotland?

Cold case team want to find 'Edinburgh man' one of 86 unidentified bodies in Scotland

New appeals are set to be launched to help put names to faces including one for information on 'Edinburgh Man', whose body was discovered in Glasgow nearly 35 years ago.

• Cold case team want to find 'Edinburgh man' one of 86 unidentified bodies in Scotland
• ''Scottish academics want the public to help identify the faces of the mystery dead.
  
  New appeals are set to be launched including one for information on 'Edinburgh Man', whose body was discovered in the city nearly 35 years ago.
  
  The Cold Case Unit at Glasgow Caledonian University is preparing to launch a series of fresh appeals in a bid to put names to some of the 86 unidentified bodies recovered in Scotland.
  
  As the Record reports, the student sleuths have worked to generate several of potential leads with the help of facial reconstructions since the unit was created almost three years ago.
  
  And now they want the public to help finally solve the mystery of the tragic men and women who have been nameless for decades.
  
  Lesley McMillan, a professor in Criminology and Sociology, said: "Some of these cases have been cold for 50 years and the modern approach to missing people is very different to what it was.
  
  
  "How we assess vulnerability and risk are more embedded in police procedures now than when some of these bodies were found.
  
  "We can apply a completely different lens to it. People are intrigued about us and what we do because it is very different from your standard police response.
  
  "That captures the imagination and brings more eyes to an appeal."
  
  In the new year, the unit will focus on the case of "Gallowgate Man", who is believed to have lain dead for months before being found in a building at Glasgow's Barras 20 years ago. They are also working to identify "Bakewell Man" found in Derbyshire in 1977 but with strong links to Scotland.
  
  A renewed appeal for information on "Edinburgh Man", found in the city's Regent Road Gardens almost 35 years ago, will also be made next year.
  The unit is also working on a case of a man found in northern England in 1972 with strong links to Scotland. His clothing had labels with the name G or C Strachan and the number six and his suit was made in Edinburgh. Students are studying genealogy in a bid to identify him.
  
  McMillan said: "There are tentative suggestions about him entering the water around Edinburgh and coming down to Beadnell Bay. His case had tiny coverage in the media.
  
  "If he'd gone missing from Edinburgh and you were missing your loved one, you wouldn't necessarily know a body had been found there."
  
  Previous public appeals on "Port Logan Woman", who was found on a Dumfries and Galloway beach in 2006, and "Balmore Man", discovered in the East Dunbartonshire village in 2011, have been successful in generating dozens of potential names.''
