The map and messages from 1984 were discovered during a beach clean-up in Monifieth.

Messages in a bottle written by three Fife schoolchildren 40 years ago have washed up on a beach in Angus.

Jenny said: "I picked up three bin bags of rubbish and found this bottle, and I thought there was something like a felt-tip pen inside it."The girl who drew the map had cleverly used wax crayon as the outside wrapping so it had protected it from some of the water that had managed to seep in."Jenny dried the messages at home and found they were all still legible.

"It said they'd been taken captive on this HMS WPS, and it explained that this stood for Wormit Primary School."
