Message in a bottle from Scottish girl found in Norway after 25 years
A message in a bottle sent by a young girl in Aberdeenshire has been found in Norway 25 years later.
Joanna Buchan was eight when the bottle was dropped from a fishing boat off Peterhead in 1996 for a school project.
It was found 800 miles (1,287km) away at Gasvaer in northern Norway by Elena Andreassen Haga, who tracked Joanna down on social media.
The schoolgirl's letter reveals a love of sweets but a dislike of the opposite sex. "By the way I hate boys," it ends.
