Antiques experts Izzie Balmer and David Harper make their way around Edinburgh and its surrounding towns in their classic car. When the shopping's done, off to auction they go!

It鈥檚 the third leg of the trip with all-singing, all-dancing antiques experts Izzie Balmer and David Harper.

Bristolian Izzie and David from Barnard Castle are making their way around Edinburgh and the surrounding towns in a retro Mini. Izzie finds herself out of her comfort zone when she acquires a bubble sextant, and David serves up an Edwardian card tray.

Our experts take a break from the shopping to learn about the first international rugby trophy, the Calcutta Cup, and to find out about the first all-female Himalayan expedition.

They end this leg of their trip in Fife, watching the auction play out at the stunning Dunimarle Castle. But who will claim victory?
