In the summer of 2001, Findochty Amenities Association launched a number of bottles as part of a fundraiser.

That included one by then two-year-old Emily Plant.

Emily's bottle was discovered on Beliy Island in the Kara Sea, on the edge of the polar circle.

It was found by oceanologist Olga Koulikova who got in touch with the Findochty Past and Present Facebook page.

Emily said she was delighted that her bottle had been found after so many years.
