Construction workers in the Scottish Highlands have found what appears to be a time capsule that was buried in the 1800s.
The metal tin similar in size to a shoe box was found by workers from construction company Morgan Sindall as they worked on Ruthven road bridge, near Kingussie in the Cairngorms.
Inside was a bottle of liquid, currently believed to be whisky, which appeared to have remained intact.

A time capsule, which dates back to about 121 years ago, was found by a crew of construction workers repairing a bridge. The time capsule contained an old newspaper, paper scroll and bottle of whiskey.
