The 19-year-old woman, who was wearing dark clothing, was attacked at around 3am on Sunday while walking between Cladach Beach and the Co-op.

The area is known as ‘the wee Co’ and Fisherman’s Walk.

Investigating officers are appealing for anyone who saw the victim or any suspicious behaviour in the area at the time of the serious sexual assault to come forward.
