Well, OK ... If I have to make the effort to look into it ...
Once Ms. Ahmed's remains were identified the authorities steadfastly declined to release any information on the state in which they were found. This appears to be the primary reason this incident's description seems so vague even after all these years. However ...
I've located what seems to be the earliest / original newspaper account of her remains' discovery in January 2016. It's an Edinburgh Evening News article from 15 January 2016. This article is no longer accessible at the newspaper's website, but it can be accessed via the Wayback Machine:

These facroids pretty clearly indicate Ms. Ahmed's corpse was severely decomposed by the time it was found.

Skull found at Gogar Mount House on Edinburgh’s outskirts
... The remains - reportedly a woman’s skull - were found off Gogarstone Road in Edinburgh.
Several holes of Gogarburn Golf Club were shut as teams searched the area following Saturday’s discovery.
The property in question is the 19th century manor Gogar Mount House, according to the Daily Record.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Officers were called to Gogarstone Road at around 4pm on Saturday following the discovery of human remains within the grounds of a property.
“A detailed forensic examination is now under way to establish the full circumstances surrounding this, and further updates will be provided when available.
Golf club secretary Kenneth Brown told the Record: “The police expanded the search on to the golf course on Monday.
“We’ve got scrubland between the ninth fairway and the estate boundary.
“We’ve closed the seventh, eighth and ninth holes while they’re here.
It is not known how long the remains had been on the property before they were uncovered.
A white forensic tent has been erected beside a cluster of trees near the ninth hole of the golf course.
The tent – which can be seen from the pavement of the A8 Glasgow Road – was today being guarded by two police officers.
These facroids pretty clearly indicate Ms. Ahmed's corpse was severely decomposed by the time it was found.
