From the Telegraph
The drawings of the Palace of Holyroodhouse show details of the royal mews in front of the palace.
A spokeswoman for the palace said the discovery was a security breach which was being taken "very seriously".
But sources stressed the areas in the plans, which include a cafe, were open to the public and were not secure parts of the building where the Royal Family would stay.
The architect's drawings were discovered under a bush on a path leading to the Water of Leith, in Roseburn, Edinburgh.
The drawings, with an accompanying letter, were found by the Daily Record newspaper's agony aunt, Joan Burnie, as she took her Jack Russell terrier Polly for a walk.
She said: "Polly saw them underneath a bush on the path and came out with the plans in her mouth.
"I took them from her to see what they were and that's when I saw the letter. I was shocked to see the plans were for Holyroodhouse."In conducting my own research I contacted an Independant Industry Security Specialist, identified only as K9, who commented that "this sort of incident is becoming more and more common."
He further stated that "I am looking forward to the prospects of the forthcoming economic downturn, and the government policies of data harvesting providing so many opportunities, that I may have to take on more staff to deal with the amount of data loss, but I am always looking out for a case I can really sink my teeth into."
