Ross Russell, a mechanical engineer with the Northern Lighthouse Board, removed some panels in a cupboard at Corswall Lighthouse, located on the northern tip of Galloway's Rhine Bay, and noticed a bottle hidden in the wall.

The team said the plug was stuck in place and had to be carefully removed with a drill.
