Episode 19
Roo Irvine and Mark Hill scour the Highlands and Islands for antiques. A leather case hides a secret and reveals a profit for one expert, and some 1950s fun excites the other.
It's the penultimate leg of our Scottish road trip, and Roo Irvine and Mark Hill are about as far north on the mainland as they can get! Their 1970s motor has taken them to John O鈥橤roats, and Scottish lass Roo is distracted from antiques shopping as she discovers why the windswept landmark became such an iconic destination.
This Highlands shopping trip proves fruitful, and they leave with a veritable bounty of antique treasure. Some rather smart whisky glasses prove to be a fantastic find, while a 1950s Bakelite telly is a rare survivor of its day. But will the Banbury bidders be as excited as the experts?
Mark takes a break from shopping to learn all about a dark chapter in Scotland鈥檚 history and the consequences for Highlanders.
At auction, it鈥檚 a battle pitting Mark鈥檚 cute teddy and stuffed lamb against Roo鈥檚 ornate candelabra.
