Episode 4 of 25

Roo鈥檚 head gets stuck in an antique while David buys a bull and an elephant. An eventful trip in Scotland ends with an ice cream and an Edinburgh auction.

Scottish lassie Roo Irvine finds herself with home advantage as she鈥檚 joined by David Harper on the west coast of Scotland for this leg of their road trip.

After Roo鈥檚 head gets stuck in an antique, she decides to stick with what she knows best: old glass. Aside from buying antiques, Roo indulges her sweet tooth and learns about gelato and why this Italian dessert is so popular in Scotland.

David examines a rare personal collection that tells the story of a once-booming industry all antiques fans should know about. He also falls for a bronze bull and has high hopes for a profit at the Edinburgh auction. However, Roo鈥檚 butter curler may be the surprise lot.
