Nicola MacFarlane，41，and her daughter Lucy，four，from Portobello，near Edinburgh，were playing on the Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle sticking out of the sand containing a note inside written in Chinese.

It is unclear when the letter was sent off，but it was written on Chinese Valentine's Day，or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known，which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

Whether the message has travelled thousands of miles from China or whether it was penned by a love-struck pair much closer to home may remain a mystery.But for Nicola it doesn't matter—she is still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.She said，“I really do hope that it is from China but even if it is from someone nearer to home，it's still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find.It's a love story regardless of where it came from.”

“We saw the bottle sticking out of the sand and just thought it was junk that someone had left behind.But after picking it up I noticed there was a piece of brown paper rolled up inside and there was some foreign writing on it.We quite excitedly took it home，carefully opened the bottle and took out the sheet of paper using some tweezers (镊子)．We knew it was Chinese，but we had no idea what it said.”

Unable to read the Chinese text，Nicola turned to the Internet and her Australian friend，Julie Gould，whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.

Nicola said，“It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their love.I'm blown__away by it to be honest—it's incredible that it has travelled all this way.”
