A hidden note dating back to the 1960s has been discovered under years of wallpaper at a Scots home. Judy Newton, from Dunbar in East Lothian, stumbled upon the message while in the process of redecorating her property, reports Edinburgh Live.She posted an image on social media of the note, which read: “Papered by AS Laing, June 1968.” Locals quickly began discussing who may have written the note 55 years ago and Judy wondered if there were any relatives of AS Laing in the area.Whhile no direct family have yet come forward, the identity of the man seems to have been confirmed.It’s thought that it was written by a local painter and plasterer, named Alistair Lang.
