A mum has been left flabbergasted after discovering a 135-year-old message in a bottle underneath her floorboards.
Mum-of-two Eilidh Stimpson, from Morningside in Edinburgh, couldn’t believe her eyes as she read out the hand-written message on the withered note.
It had been rolled up inside an empty whisky bottle since the day the floor was laid.
The Victorian time capsule was discovered on Monday by local plumber Peter Allan, who just happened to cut through the exact place in the floorboards where it had been left on October 6, 1887.
