Schoolboy's stroll on beach near Edinburgh uncovers fascinating WWII artefact

A schoolboy is "over the moon" after discovering an artefact dating back to the Second World War on a beach just miles outside Edinburgh.

Liam Moore, 11, was walking along Tyninghame Beach in East Lothian with his dad on Sunday when he stumbled upon the casing for a bullet thought to have been fired by RAF gunners more than 80 years ago.

While it's nigh impossible to know if the bullet was fired in combat, such finds in the area around the beauty spot are not uncommon.
