Antiques experts are hoping to find a hidden gem when they bring a hit BBC programme to Perthshire in the summer.
Ahead of a visit by the Antiques Roadshow to Scone Palace on July 9, presenter Fiona Bruce said her constant delight is turning up unusual and interesting items.
She said: “This will be my sixth year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme. Every week is different a new location and thousands of new visitors.
“The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected. We never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Faberg to the most humble object with a riveting story.”
On the day some of Britain’s leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations to visitors, who are invited to raid their attics and bring along family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection by the experts.
Series editor Simon Shaw said: “Fiona and the team are really looking forward to their visit.
“Although we can never predict what will come to light, every show brings big surprises, which is what makes working on the show so exciting. So, on behalf of all of the experts, we’re asking the people of Perth to dig out your treasures.”
