Lost Sherlock Holmes story by Conan Doyle unearthed in Scottish attic

A long-lost Sherlock Holmes story by Conan Doyle has been unearthed in a Scottish attic, it has been revealed.

Walter Elliot found it in his attic and will put it on display at the Cross Keys Selkirk Pop-Up Community Museum, the Independent reported.

The 80-year-old historian stumbled upon the "great little story" in a collection written to raise funds for the flood-hit Scottish town of Selkirk at the turn of the 20th century.

'Sherlock Holmes: Discovering the Border Burghs and, By Deduction, the Brig Bazaar' was sold in a collection of short stories called The Book o' the Brig.
