Police said the woman pulled from the River Nairn on Sunday was a 64-year-old from the town.

"A post mortem will take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death, however at this time the death is being treated as unexplained, although there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
"Members of the public are thanked for their response to our appeal."
