'Time capsule' farm preserves 200-year history

Daily Express

August 18, 2025

TWO friends have transformed a remote farm into an authentic 19th century home after its owners left behind 200 years of contents.

- By Lauren Beavis

Jackie Sinclair and Dave Walker spent two years restoring Boloquoy on Sanday, Orkney, after discovering it had become a time capsule, from the 1880s. The family who previously lived there had barely thrown anything away for two centuries.

They found ancient rugs and furnishings, bird feathers, ancient clothes and even unopened Christmas gifts from over a century ago.
