Whisky found in time capsule from the nineteenth century
Construction workers found time capsule that was buried in the 1800s in the Scottish Highlands. The shoe box-sized capsule was found buried deep inside part of the Ruthven road bridge near Kingussie in the Cairngorms by Morgan Sindall construction workers, who have been working on replacing the bridge.
Inside the capsule was a bottle of at at least 121-year-old whisky and a newspaper from September 1894. As the bottle had no label, the provenance of the whisky is not known it is not known.
Robert Ogg, of Morgan Sindall, told the BBC: “It is fascinating to think these items have been sitting in the bridge’s structure for 121 years. The changes which have occurred since it was placed there are extraordinary. If you think that the bridge was being used by horses back then, it gives you a sense of the time which has passed.” (MTI)
