Full Description

A time capsule believed to contain World War One relics was found when workmen moved a statue at the entrance of the village hall during the realignment of the A9. The bottle was of square design and believed to contain a sheet of paper, some coins which looked mostly foreign and some ribbon or cloth possibly from a medal.
