March 19 (UPI) -- A man walking with his dogs on the coast of Scotland found a message in a bottle that had been launched from off Canada's Prince Edward Island.
Mike Scott said he and his dogs were walking on the beach in St. Cyrus, south of Aberdeen, about two weeks ago when his Labrador retriever, Maggie, found a bottle in the shallow water.
Scott found the bottle contained a letter that was sealed in a plastic bag to protect it from leaks.
The letter, which was written in French, was dated August 2024 and said the bottle was being launched from a ferry traveling from Prince Edward Island to the Isles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec.
The letter's author, Annie Chaisson, asked anyone who found the bottle to contact her through Facebook.
