“Formal identification is still to take place, however officers believe she was missing from the Fife (area) on Monday January 17.
“The missing woman’s family has been informed.”
The Coastguard said it had been called to support the operation at the request of the Scottish Ambulance Service, which was also at the scene.
The Police Scotland spokesman said the death was not being treated as suspicious, and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
