An Australian couple Sean and Shelly Thomas recently vacationing in Scotland found a bottle in the sand dune of Rattray Head on Scotland’s north-east coast. Imagine their surprise when they opened the bottle and found a 44-year-old message.

The message was written by a 14-year-old boy named Raymond Davidson from Carlisle, UK. The time stamp on the message is 15th January 1971. The couple wants to find this person before they go back to Brisbane. Mr. Thomas is a collector. He loves to collect bottles and other things. They found this bottle as their routine hunt of unique stuff. They noticed that the bottle had some note inside and broke it open.

The above discovery is not a standalone incident. Just last month a team of six canoeists paddling along Victoria’s inner harbour found a bottle that seemed to contain some dust. On opening the bottle they found a guy’s picture with the message “celebration of life,”, the paddlers then realized that the bottle contained the ashes of some man. Since then they  carry the message in the bottle named “Ash” everywhere so that it travels around the world.

This is not something that started recently, we have humans have done this for at least 2,000 years. A Message is a bottle has a certain mystery to it. It has been an inspiration also.  A famous  song, “Message in a Bottle”; a renowned book, “Message in a Bottle,” and the movie version of that book; there are businesses that make message-in-a-bottle wedding invitations.

You can also send a “virtual” message in a bottle. How so? It is an email sent to a completely random email address via a website that offers this service.

But why do people do it?

Some people like to share their moments of happiness and honor it by doing so. There is an uncertainty about which way the bottle would go, where would it end up. That is alluring to many people.
