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

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.

She managed to track down the three girls, who are now in their late 40s, on a local Facebook group.

The messages will be returned to the school four decades after they set sail on their six-mile journey.

100m / year, that's some slow travel

I figure it's 6 miles up the beach. Who knows how far off into the ocean they went.
