A time capsule containing items from the 1890s including what is thought to be a bottle of whisky has been uncovered by construction workers.
The capsule, a metal box about the size of a shoe box, was discovered buried deep inside part of Ruthven road bridge near Kingussie in the Cairngorms.
In the box was a folded newspaper from September 1894, a paper scroll and the bottle.
The items have been donated to a museum in nearby Newtonmore.
Workers from construction and infrastructure company Morgan Sindall uncovered the capsule during work to replace the bridge under a contract from Highland Council
