Police have identified a woman found injured and 'speaking with a Scottish accent' on a Croatian island.
Officers identified the woman as Daniela Adamcova, from Slovakia, after receiving numerous tips from Croatia and abroad.
When the 57-year-old was found, she couldn't remember her own name or how she came to be there.
We previously told how the woman was believed to have had a "Scottish accent".
It is now understood this was an Irish accent after she was found to have resided there in recent years.
Croatian media said the tip that revealed her identity came from the US where she reportedly lived until 2015 before moving to Ireland.
She was reportedly a successful jewellery designer who ended up becoming homeless.
The woman was discovered on September 12 on Krk, sitting on a jagged rock close to the sea in a remote part of the island inhabited by bears.
Croatian media reported that she in English but could not give her name. She did not have identification documents or a mobile phone.
Police released a photo showing a blonde woman with blue eyes and a bloodied face.
Croatian rescue services said she woman had spent a night at the sea shore and was found "exhausted and with light injuries and disoriented".
The case drew attention in Croatia and internationally.
The woman has since been transferred to a hospital in the town of Rijeka.
Concerned local Dajana Milinković had posted a Facebook appeal suggesting the woman speaks with a Scottish accent in the hope that someone will recognise her and help get her home to her loved ones.

Dajana had told the Record: "The fisherman who alarmed the police said she was calling for help in English, but she has a Scottish accent.
"She does not remember her name, she did not have any documents or a mobile phone with her, the only thing that is known about her is that she communicates in English.
"Police found her backpack on the rocky shore where she had been all night, dehydrated and fainting.
"She may have spent the whole night on that rocky terrain.
"But the contents of the backpack did not provide investigators with the desired information about her identity. She only had mosquito spray, a wallet and some other small items that every tourist would take with them on a trip."
After Daniela was finally identified police described her condition as "stable" and said social services will take over once she is released from hospital.
