1930s Love Letters Found In Caledonian Canal

Police are trying to locate the owners of love letters dating back to the 1930s found floating in a wooden box in a Scottish canal.

In December, 2011 a wooden writing box was found in the canal, floating in water at Dochgarroch, by Inverness, and handed in as lost property to Burnett Road Police Station, Inverness.

Inside the box are letters addressed to Miss S R Paterson, "Bidston", Ross Avenue, Inverness, postmarked Edinburgh, 19th August, 1934.

There are a number of love letters and wedding invitations of great sentimental value inside the box and surprisingly, they are very well preserved for having been in the water.

Efforts by the Lost/Found Property Department in Burnett Road, Inverness have failed to trace or identify an owner for the box and contents.

Police are seeking people with any knowledge of the lady or the address, who can assist with reuniting the box and letters with her or any family members to come forward.

Please make contact with the Lost/Found Property Department, Burnett Road, Inverness on 01463 228413, or if you wish to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
