Messages in a bottle, thrown into the River Tay at Wormit 40 years ago as part of a classroom pirate project, have washed up in Monifieth.
Handwritten letters by pupils at the village school, dating back to June 1984, were discovered during a beach clean on Saturday.
Preserved in a plastic bottle, the letters and a map only travelled a few miles along the Tay Estuary.
Jenny Smith of Monifieth Eco Force, who made the discovery, said she initially thought it was “just a Crayola crayon drawing”.
“But it turned out to be a rolled-up map with wax crayon on the outside with an elastic band around it,” she told STV News.
