Maybe ;o)

I guess there is some chance (assuming correct choice of local paper)
but for a hill path on a tourist trail the probability is that it was
not owned by someone living locally anyway.   Actually, the cost of
placing the ad (or even the phone calls to track down the nearest free
paper) almost cetrainly outweigh the cost of developing the film.

Unless it contained strongly identifiable images - recognisable people
and especially a few frames identifying a home town then the chance of
reuniting the two is small.  If it is just mundane landscapes then it
is probably not worth trying.

And of course, there is the copyright question ...   ;o)
