The pair, originally from Hungary, were reported as missing after they told her that they planned to end their tenancy. A police helicopter, a dog branch and a marine unit were among the many specialist resources deployed to help locate the pair
Detectives from Police Scotland previously revealed the sisters visited the Victoria bridge, where they were last seen, the day before they disappeared.
Officers have been treating it as a missing persons inquiry and not a criminal investigation.
The sisters had first moved to Scotland seven years ago and had been saving to buy their own home in Scotland.
