MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jenny Smith was taking part in a beach clean-up in Monifieth when she found three notes and a map from the Wormit Primary School pupils from 1984.
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 said she was surprised at the age of the messages, which outdate various vintage crisp packets from the 1990s that she has found on beach cleans.
She left a message on the Wormit Community Facebook group and within hours had a reply from Linda Bell, who still lives in the village.
After telling her friends of the discovery, Linda and Kelly met Jenny to see their letters, which were part of a school project.
