A Scots pensioner who lost a 'treasured' wedding ring that hadn’t left his finger for 64 years has been reunited with the jewellery thanks to eagle-eyed castle staff. Charlie Watson and wife Margaret decided to check out a light show at Brodie Castle, near Forres, Moray, with their daughter Elaine Butterworth, who had arrived for a visit from Canada.
But after a delightful evening on November 24, disaster struck when the OAP, who is in his 90s, realised the gold band had slipped off his finger and was nowhere to be seen. Unsure on where it could have fallen off, the couple’s daughter reached out to staff at the National Trust for Scotland-owned castle to see if it had been handed in.
Visitor services supervisor Anne Owen, who took the frantic call, immediately began hunting the venue for any sign of the ring - with the help of a mystery father and son duo. After locating the wedding band, she then went above and beyond to ensure it was safely reunited with its very grateful owner.
