An unknown Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
for a fundraising sale as been unearthed after lying in an attic
for almost 50 years.
The 1,300-word tale starring the famous detective is part of a book
of short stories created to help raise money to build a new bridge
in the Scottish town of Selkirk after it was destroyed in 1902.
The famous author - who visited the area often - decided to help locals
by contributing to the 'Book o' the Brig', which was sold at the
three-day bazaar two years later.
Walter Elliot, 80, was given the 48-page pamphlet by a friend more than
50 years ago and had forgotten about it until recently after looking
in his attic.
