Construction workers have uncovered a time capsule containing items from the 1800s.
The capsule, a shoe- sized metal container, was discovered buried deep inside part of a road bridge in the Scottish Cairngorms. The box has been sitting in the bridge's structure for 121 years.
Inside the box was a folded newspaper from September 1894, a paper scroll and bottle that appears to contain whiskey.
The items, dating from a time when horses pulled carriages over the bridge, have been donated to the Highland Folk Museum nearby.
The Kingussie Primary School are about to create their own time capsule to leave a record of their moment in time. Source: BBC.
If I decided to leave a time capsule, I'd select one song I've written, one book I've published, my memoirs (beginning in the 1940s), and some love letters.
In my Moonstone novels, which you can see on the sidebar, Liliha slips into the mind of someone else at random times and sees through their eyes. Considering I use news items in each tension-filled situation, they give an account of what is happening in our world at this time.
If you had your chance, what would you choose?
