A 132-year-old message in a bottle has been uncovered at a Scottish lighthouse.
The bottle was found at the Corsewall Lighthouse, located at Corsewall Point.
The find was discovered by an engineer conducting an inspection at the lighthouse, which itself is more than 200 years old.
The bottle was hidden inside the wall of the lighthouse, with the inspection team carefully removing the cork, which was stuck in place, and had to be unfastened using a drill.
Inside was a note dating back to Sep 1892, bearing the names of three engineers who had installed the light at the top of the lighthouse, as well as the names of three lighthouse keepers.
The engineer said he and his team would put the bottle back into its hiding place along with a message of their own.
