In fact, a good few years ago I was up in Lewis, trolling along a beach on the east side. There was a heavy surf around then. Later, I heard that an English holidaymaker and his son found 2 kilos of the stuff on the shoreline and took it to the cops.

Question was, how did they know it was cocaine?? Did they , ahem, partake? Or did it have 'Finest Peruvian' stencilled on the side??
