Isobel Scott vanished from her home in Edinburgh after saying she going to the cinema.
Isobel Scott, 15, from Edinburgh went off to Leith Docks instead of the cinema on January 6, 1957, and wasn't seen again for another 12 days.
However, eventually she was discovered hiding on a cargo ship bound for Casablanca in western Morocco that she had somehow managed to board in Leith. A huge effort had to be put into place by the captain of the ship to return her home to the UK to her Dad who was waiting at Dover.
