Social media helped them track down Mrs Hay.
There were pens, coins, lipstick, earrings, a key and tablets inside when the bag was found.
Maisie told Scotland News: “I was just walking around with my dog and my mum and my dad and then I pointed out, ‘oh, there’s a handbag’.
“I said ‘mum do you want a new handbag?’ Then I said maybe there’s something in it.
“So then we decided to open it and we saw like a credit card and we saw the name so we were really confused, who is this, are they dead, are they not?
“We got home and saw the name Audrey and I did some research about her, I figured out a bit about her.”
