Antiques Roadshow UK Series 14 Episode 11 Stromness Academy, Orkney Islands

for over 70 islands a few miles north of the Scottish coast at John O'Groats Orkney is a landscape of wild unspoiled beauty varying from gently undulating countryside to cliffs that rise perpendicular to the sea the old man of hoy was once part of those cliffs now eroded by the waves into dramatic isolation virtually everywhere you go on Orkney there are reminders of earlier civilizations the huge collective burial mound of maize how and the standing stones of Stenness reflect a history of habitation going back at least 5,000 years but in that long history there is one event that stands out from all others and it happened here at Scapa Flow on Midsummer's day in 1919 the entire German high seas fleet which had been interned here since the end of the war was scuttled on the orders of the German Admiral so that his ships could not live again to fight in someone else's Navy in the Second World War the British battleship HMS Royal Oak was torpedoed here in Scapa Flow by a German u-boat which had slipped past the inadequate defences more than eight hundred men drowned on the orders of Winston Churchill and as a direct result of that tragic loss the very route taken by the German submarine was blocked off by an impressive causeway linking several of the islands together for the first time the Churchill barriers as they came to be called were built by Italian prisoners of war and on a low Hill overlooking the water in two old army Nissen huts there's a tangible reminder of the years they spent incarcerated on opening the men who built those Churchill barriers the Italian prisoners of war missed one thing as much as they missed easily itself and that was somewhere to worship they had nowhere to celebrate mass so one day in 1943 a rather liberal and enlightened British commander said to them if I give you the tools will you build your own chapel well the Italians readily agreed and this was the result among the prisoners was an artist Dominick OTO Chetty copying a holy picture in his wallet he painted a of the madonna and child the tabernacle was made from wood recovered from shipwrecks the lanterns that lit the altar were fashioned from the prisoners bully beef tins geo Chetty was so proud of his Chapel that after the war he was invited to return to Orkney to lead its restoration well coming in to Strom ness this morning is the piano fairy from the Scottish coast bringing with it dozens of people from Caithness who we've invited to be our guest today to swell the ranks of the Acadians the people of Orkney who number some 20,000 and many of whom we hope are coming to the Strom Ness Academy the local school to meet our familiar team of Antiques Roadshow experts do you know anything about them at all not a lot I think that may have come out to a church at a chapel or something and how did you get them I just brought them here in order me was it a long time ago I would be the fool 30 or maybe over 30 or 40 years did you pay a lot for them it was plenty I suppose maybe in teens opposed I would think well they come all the way from Italy yes and they were made in a small place called Castella de bruit so I see in the 18th century and Castelli they specialize in making these large tiles or plugs painted with all sorts of subjects and this one here I think it's so it is that's why it's a conversion of simple there who his name was Sol until the heave yes became simple and there's God speaking to him out of the cloud saying Saul Saul why do you persecute me yes in Latin now he is falling over backwards and his lovely horse oh and this one must be baby Jesus this is a Holy Family yes or they what you call them in terms the adoration of the Magi here the three kings turning up and as you can see they parked their camels behind that's right now the factory was dominated by two great families of painters one of the families was called grew a GRU e and the other was called Gentile a I think that these ones date from about 1740 and were probably painted by a man called Aurelio GRU I see and you could see this particularly by the amount of of manganese or purple he used and that's very typical of our Ray Leo brewer this one maybe a little later because he's got with rather more green in it what's interesting is that as far as I can see that's the original frame that's an 18th century frame it's a very good feature I'm it is somebody's stuck it together but that's not a problem and yeah this one presumably friend I had a frame is lost oh what a pity but without a frame I would think that this one is worth between two and three thousand pounds and this one which is bigger a very active subject between four and five thousand pounds but they really are very exciting and amazing things to come all the way to auch there to to see thank you very much now this is a piece of furniture that you really can't ignore because the crane and figure on the top of this table is really spectacular isn't it it is lovely yeah no one do you have this table tilted upwards have in a corner so that you see the grain or do you have it flat no like this to new Chevrolet it's the news every day that's what do you keep a cloth over it no no because the colour has also remained and that's what part of the beauty so that you get this wonderful strong honey color with a black marks running right the way through it and it really is wild and this Rose would have topped it when I first saw that with the table there was the quality that sprang out not only has it got this tremendous grain on the top but if we can go down underneath look at the pedestal now this also I think is really something to enjoy and I'm not sure you don't always get down on your knees like this and look at his education in conducting occasionally for dusting well it looks in beautiful condition here and the generosity of all the forms all the shapes if you just run your hands around yeah the pedestal here or over the legs and down to this extraordinary fleshy leaf he Scrolls is quite prehensile you feel they're going to come out at you but all that is really a sign of quality you've got a really good team yeah there are lots of these circular pedestal tables around they are ubiquitous in most rooms in 19th century houses you would have a circular pedestal table but many of them are really a very little quality this one I think is very very fine indeed I had a cover on it but I have got a husband who have like folks to see the green it's very difficult isn't it to preserve it from one side and to enjoy it and see it on the other if you keep it away from direct sunlight yeah then there's no real problem yeah I mean are you interested in the value well rather not know we've had it it's been in the family my husband Arendt who originally had it but when we got it to him it was valued at five pounds five pounds Shakira chambers went pop I was about 40 years ago anything right well now you'll be looking more in the region of two two and a half to three three and a half thousand pounds so thank you very much well it was a wedding present which we received from family friends who had traveled extensively in East yes he'd been in the end their husband had been in the Indian Army it's amazing how much oriental pottery and porcelain does actually get to all the seafaring nations up in northwest Europe and I was hoping that we'd get quite a bit of Japanese here today so here's one splendid piece of Satsuma where the nice thing about it is really its shape if it were just a straightforward round ovoid shape it would not be I have to say a terribly exciting piece but the strength of the potting in producing this octagonal shape is what gives it its Trump tremendous presence let's just start with the shoulder where you see typical designs for Japanese and in fact also Chinese pottery and porcelain the first is the Phoenix and if you then twist it round here you'll see a companion dragon yes the dragon is the male and the Phoenix is the female but then going to the main body of the piece what you have is in fact a rather charming outdoor scene with women and children basically just out of doors enjoying themselves and you always spot something new every time you look at it it's a tremendous amount of detail in it you're absolutely right when you think that even right down to the individual spots in the sky I mean those are done by hand everything is done by hand and bars like this typically would have taken maybe three weeks in total painting time then going into the base there we see the Satsuma monde incidentally the Satsuma prints was in fact Christian at an early stage yeah which is why his own personal banana incorporates the Christmas cross yes and there you have the Potters mark which I'm afraid is a rather stylized I can't read the first character the second character says Suzanne it could be Rios an I'm not sure but anyway there's one more salient point about this which affects its value do you know what that might be I haven't a clue its condition well if you only have looked after I've tried you've looked after it okay well in that case I have to ask you how did this happen looking inside there I don't know we only noticed that yesterday when we started cleaning it to take it yes would that be a blow from the inside or the outside almost certainly an impact of some sort just there has created a little star crack it's probably not visible in the outside but it is certainly visible on the inside and it has a bearing on the value of the piece but it's quite close to another crack which we can't see which is called a firing crack yes that doesn't have any effect on the value at all it's it liable to get what the star crackers can get worse but the firing crack is unlikely to get worse that is the reason for it not really machinist well it's certainly living room all our married life and we try to look after it but you know with a family growing up the taste bomb to have had not yes well it's imperfect so it's only worth somewhere in the region of the thousands fifteen hundred pounds amazing what started all this off this cup and saucer and where did you got this from granny both the little miniature couples now did you actually bid for them yourself shoved your hand up and be much much she said that I just that's very brave there's been many adults are scared to go a bit as a dog so they think they could have somebody knocked out like a clock and they didn't bid only scratch their nose but you boldly went where many people fear to tread that's jolly nice you know that's very nice that's made by Minton and it's a little toy cup and saucer for putting in a small cabinet not really for use not for a child to play but it's hand-painted and I think that's very beautiful how much did you pay for the [Music] you have a cup and saucer 13 1 3 13 hundreds well that is worth more than you gave for the Lord that's very variable that's worth around about 30 40 pounds maybe obviously we used to put the blind but you know what you want to know what you put in on you children is to encourage children to use pepper you do you encourage children to use a lot of pepper and so did your grandfather great-grandfather buy it or him because JJ Malay is famous in two different ways first of all he's the son of the most famous Brewer flight artists are John Everett Millais and he also wrote and he wrote his father's biography so people in the pre-raphaelites as a biographer and the the second thing that said you say famous for that he was a great Birdman and wildfire and demonstrated all the books and these are Eider ducks and this is a bird you see commonly up here yeah as for price that's my break deal but I would have thought somewhere around six to eight hundred pounds between they look fairly late to me I think and keep some bless what you do every morning I do a juggle [Laughter] I'm sure it's been in the family for a long time well handed do yes I would think that it the thing is it in design it's quite delicate it doesn't look as if it would stand up to being used a great deal it's got a really nice line to it here with the back curling over and of course the first thing one might say is what do you think happened in the in the holes here it could be that there were struts going down that might have been brass or they could have been done in straw but it's quite intriguing I'm sure that there was some sort of panel filled in at the back which would have made it a bit more comfortable then you've got this Greek key design which is this motive along here and I think it's always had a cushion a squad cushion like this because if you take this off you'll see that this rat Wratten seat wouldn't have been very strong to sit on and the fact that it's got quite a deep side here it shows that the seat cushion would have been there and then it would have made it level with the seat and then going down to the legs here it's got a really nice sweep down to this poor foot but what's particularly nice is if you look here at the back you've got this sort of furry bit that goes right down to the down to the foot and this was a leg that you found at the end of the 18th century and then it was still used into the beginning of the 19th century and the whole influence of the chair is a sort of Egyptian Roman Greek which was very popular at the beginning of the 19th century the chair is made in mahogany but there are some darker bits of mahogany as well alive I think that that was done to give an impression of a bronzey which was also very fashionable at the time and the value about 500 pounds so it's super chair thank you very much for bringing it it's the most distinguished order of st. Michael and George it's one of our higher orders that we have in this country you tell me a little bit about the background well I really know no background other than I saw the coin half crown for about 20 pounds and I was asked to take this in exchange really as far as I know well you know is a wonderful fine for you it really is now let me tell you what you have here you have the collar of the order like we're completely around their neck this in front you have the breast badge which would be worn which would be worn here and then you have the sash badge the sash goes around the shoulder and this is supported by the sash in that manner have you any idea have you any conception of how much it's worth I haven't a cool well you have here in toto something in excess three thousand pounds what three thousand pounds so I think you did very very well in your exchange do you have a collection of dolls and my mother had watch it since this one was bought she knows me the collection of dolls this was the first one presumably it was bought in Scotland yes and Edinburgh she had a very unfortunate name that she's known by this type of doll which is a slit head which is very unfortunate because I think they're one of the most charming of the waxed doors the slits hell is because the wig was inserted in the top of the crown it was quite an easy way of putting on a wig instead of inserting each individual hair which they did with later wax dolls this in fact is not a full wax it is called a wax over papier-mache so that they had a base on which to build the wax form her body is made of a rather rough it's probably a rough sort of kapok style but obviously not kpop in those days would have been rags or stuff together and very very firm really and this was would have been made in the 1840s as early as that in England and generally in excellent condition in the original clothes and a doll at auction today in this condition I can see making between five and seven hundred pounds how did you get it but it's always been back in the family as far along as I know I've sort of had it on the mantelpiece and thought much about country you know a lot of the best and earliest pieces of porcelain have no mark on them and therefore you would say got me much now that would therefore you would say how the goodness do I know where it comes from well here we have a post inbox and when you look at it it's got sort of Rococo Scrolls in relief around the border here and they're gone on each side so that's one hint about the date it was made in the 1740s this is made of a very hard white porcelain so it's a German Boston now fortunately there was only one factory really making boxes that time and that was the Meissen factory like all my some boxes of the period it has to two things happen inside one the interior of the body is gilt entirely and do the inside of the lid is beautifully painted now these aren't actually stippled and you have to imagine the artist painting there with a feather and a magnifying glass putting on each little spot of colour one and the Mount is the original amount there's only one unfortunate thing has happened with your month and and that is if you look very carefully inside you will see that there are traces of gilding and this silver mount was originally a silver gilt and that's not that's not a serious problem what of course is a problem is what's happened here where it has been broken you're not guilty no whatever did it happened before you I think that one could have this tidied up quite efficient they are not a great cost a box like this in perfect condition is worth five six or seven thousand pounds in this condition well it's lost a lot but it's still I think worth well over a thousand pounds and if we had it cleaned up nicely I think I'd be well worth doing but it is very excitingly not using the sea thank you your father would have got this from Santa Clara yes he definitely did because in the firm they used to do a lot of framing of his pictures and he got that when in fact there was a win of two more in the family but that was the one that came my way because tannic acid was that was he's really open his most famous son as an artist secondly and this must have been done as a teenager yes definitely which would make it about 1907 1905 1907 yes about that time it slightly crudely painted but it's a marvelously evocative view of Kirkwall well it's interesting because it's full of all the life and which the young person knew and then he went down to Scotland and not only became a very famous painter but also the Queen's limner for Scotland's paint of his government and then he came back to walk me and spent really the rest of his life yes well this picture I think is a slightly one-off but of tremendous interest people here and as such I'd value it probably in the region of a thousand fifteen hundred pounds but now we leave the people of Strom ness and our experts just for a moment for me to tell you about the Radio Times competition and of course to remind you that every week you stand a chance of winning a voucher which can then be exchanged for two and a half thousand pounds worth of antiques so it really is well worth having a go first however the answer to last week's question we asked you to name the decorative technique used on this Pembroke table and the answer is parquetry this is a technique in which pieces of wood are laid onto the carcass of the furniture in geometric designs well now to this week's competition object and here it is this very pretty little botkin case is a marvelous example of fine 18th century craftsmanship it was made to carry a lady's Bodkins or needles but is much more extravagant really than that simple task would suggest the lid and the cylindrical body fit very snugly together they're mounted in gold and it's smothered all over in this most marvellous colorful decoration of exotic birds sitting amid the branches of the trees this lustrous bronze background color is very reminiscent of oriental lacquer and that gives you some clue as to the decorative technique used the Europeans were great admirers of oriental skills in lacquering and they made many attempts at imitating it this was one of the most successful answer to the question what is this decorative technique called now to help you it's probably a good idea to look at a copy of the new Radio Times which gives you not only more details of the competition but even goes so far as to suggest a few possible answers and then your entry please needs to be postmarked before next Saturday and address to the Radio Times rather than to the Antiques Roadshow I'll be setting another question next week and also of course providing the answer to this week's competition in the meantime now back to the people of Orkney and our experts well obviously this is a piece of Weems pottery from from Scotland of course it's a superb piece this well do you like it yes I love these cockles I think they are absolutely bothers it strut around in the in the grass there are these gorgeous green colors I think which are very very romantic now of course got very popular but it was very popular around about 1902 to the 1920s when it was bought across some by very famous London people including I suppose the greats clicked with a lot the Queen Mother who has a very fine collection and interesting Lee this has the mark of the Royal China dealers Thomas good here they they specialized in the sale of Queens her from night you know even before 1900 and so that's almost a guarantee that it is a great piece of weebs I like it very much they are getting highly collectible especially a good piece of early reads like this I suppose one's got to think in terms of perhaps fifteen hundred pounds or it this is the oval brass watch the years earliest watch that you have area from one of the earliest watches ones likely to find its had a very hard life I'm afraid the movements been changed and some up bits are missing from the side of the case but you can see from the dial and the engraving of the dial surround and the shape the oval shape that it was the first period they were actually sometimes called as Nurenberg aids this would be an exceptionally valuable watch if it was still in perfect condition many thousands of pounds but it's now something more rid of a museum piece and in view of the condition and the next one here this is made in Switzerland in about 1900 or so and they were made of something of a of a gimmick but they were quite popular and in fact you can see right through the dial it appears that there's no dye on at all it has the hands and it actually works if one opens the back up there's a small compartment for the movement and you can actually see but the movements tucked away in the top yet and their dark back yet put some ring of teeth around the edge of the glass in the middle which turned the hands it's a clever idea unfortunately one of the glasses is cracked but great yes it could be replaced for that yeah these who used to find these very easily now they're worth about 750 pounds they were in a portfolio inherited by my grandfather in Northumberland yes was he something to do with the China trade no he was he was a lawyer right this was an artist friend a Brazil yes well I must say they're two particularly charming watercolors and the first one as we can see here is entitled habitation of a Mandarin and there's a rather nice inscription underneath and this is particularly nice because I think shorts in the artist's handwriting so it would be contemporary with the watercolor the other one is I would have thought is probably a pleasure boat of some rich maybe Mandarin trader and is obviously not a working boat because it has lovely decoration and see the Dragons here and the lovely painted panels but coming back to this one here many of these sort of water colors painted around 1840 that sort of thing our views on the Pearl River in China and I think that's most likely where this is have you ever thought of an artist for it at all or have you ever been told there might be by I was out in Hong Kong and I went to Macau yes well generally lived painted yes we've always wondered about yes well I think that's a very good name I mean generally was a very influential artist and he did go out there you're quite correct and and these are very similar to George Chinnery and stylistically and the coloring and the drawing but I I feel they're not quite his hand and in fact we have a bit of a clue here because there appears to be a monogram which is slightly illegible but looks to be HC well I must be honest I'm not familiar with this name HC but the thing is there were so many artists who went out to China especially from 1839 to 1842 when the First Opium War took place and a lot of naval and military people went out there and in fact a lot of the naval people were officially trained at Dartmouth to draw it was one of the things part of their training and this the reason for this was in order to record fortifications because of course in those days they didn't have sophisticated cameras and that's why in idle moments but they have nothing better to do they do these delightful little drawings and sketches have you ever thought in terms of valuation that or do you do any idea what they might have worth obviously if you could find out who they're by they'd be worth a little bit more but let's be conservative and let's say that this one here is probably worth somewhere in the region eight to twelve hundred pounds so I'd probably insure it for about twelve hundred pounds and I think this one probably a little bit less is probably in the region of five to seven hundred and I must say I think that particularly nice pleased to know all that in the late 1840s in France there were three great glass houses that made paper words I never called baccarat San Louie and Keesha and two of them certainly macaron and San Louie made what this kind of wait we should call the mushroom wait because you see you've got a sort of mushroom thanks basket of what are called canes in the middle now most the ones that have blue bands like this are back around but I have a doubt in my mind here because when you look at this one there's a tremendous amount of sort of salmony orange isn't a you don't know when we find it back around and I think that this may well be a scent doing one it has a little problem there that's a cooler bruise yeah and that's a pity [Music] commercially it might affect it for a few pounds mm-hmm but what would you think something like that could be worth hiding well I think that we are actually talking something between 600 and a thousand pounds I didn't think of it that much yeah you'd never believe that an object as tall and as complex as this would actually be used to hold a watch which is in the middle mm-hm now where on earth did it come from I didn't murder and under what circumstance I mean did you fall across it or no sorry Tom me all that isn't I went back to buy it right away why shouldn't you buy it at the time because I didn't really fit oh dear but she's wonderful isn't she perhaps the best thing to do is to start with the watch itself because that's that's the the essence of the whole piece and this is a paired verge watch and a normal verge watch like this would be worth perhaps a 150 pounds but this is fantastic with a picture of Wellington on it yeah and that's what this wonderful edifice is it's basically a watch stand but if we look at what it's made of first of all at the top the lady is made of ivory yeah now that may be marine ivory rather than elephant ivory coming down she's standing on this wonderful sort of altar if you like made of bone further down still you've got this looks as though it could even be the cedar wood I'm not sure about the the wood that's making the main frame and then at the bottom here again more bone carving and I'm looking at this and I'm wondering whether it's prisoner-of-war work is it's scrimshaw work I'm going to really stick my neck out here and say it could be scream short work because they're you'd have the absolute mix between whale ivory in the teeth and whale bone which we've got a lot of here the wood could have been found on board ship yeah have you had any thoughts on it yourself no I thought you a prisoner that's all the only thing I would say about prisoner of war work is that you don't tend to see that sort of use of of ivory and in such large chunks if you like you'd have ivory and in small pieces but that's quite a decent chunk of ivory that just been carved from I'm sure somebody somewhere is gonna say well I think that it's a present of war what somebody else who think it's good sure I'm torn between the two I really am I can't say positively what I can say is that the watch itself is dating for about 1825 yeah that would then date date the piece to sometime around or perhaps just after that assuming that the watch had always been with it which I don't think is unlikely and I go ask you what you paid for it how long ago was it 20 years okay so much for it well how much 200 quid 200 quid 20 years ago well I can see why it wasn't a snap decision yeah I would have said that we're talking about something in excess of 3,000 now did you open you love doing well my father-in-law bought the house we had about the nearly fifties the previous family removed all their paintings and he needed something for the wall at the dining room and did a friend who was an auctioneer in Aberdeen and I'm not really sure of whether the friend gifted him this picture of it he bought it so it doesn't go very far back I mean that shit's not it's not a terribly old picture it's painted after the turn of the century in fact the most interesting thing about this picture is not the artist in fact but what it does it reflects the taste of the period just after the turn of the century say from 1910 to 20 where there was an enormous interest and love of old master paintings and this space if you like reflects that period of art the artist himself is never artists and is best known not for this sort of painting but for sort of rather beautiful mythological illustrations it's a nice quality painting and I think probably we should value it for insurance say at 8,000 pounds goodness that is what I'd like to know straight away is how a piece from India or China comes to be it walked me well all I know about the piece of furniture really is it originally came from the castle of me so that suggests that there have been perhaps some colonial interests behind the the provenance I believe so yes what I think is most spectacular about this piece of furniture apart from its weight which we can't demonstrate is extremely heavy piece made out of East Indian rosewood is this extraordinary rippling effect across the facade here this really shows some European influence the whole form of the piece is something like an English slant front bureau but this ripple effect across the front shows a distinctly Dutch influence and the Dutch and the British of course traded in the Far East and many of the pieces that were made in the fairies took up certain aspects of European design this an interesting configuration of drawers see there's one long draw above two short draws and then two long draws again which is not a very European feature I see the the handles I think are very nice here you have this quite heavy swan necks handle with the pierced back those dates and escutcheon here but these are quite thin but that is fairly characteristic of pieces that were imported from the Far East and if we can Oh wonderfully heavier people perhaps pull out your that's right and inside you get the full beauty of the unfaded color this East Indian rosewood if we move through we can see that it has this European arrangement of pigeon holes it's got a document draw here it's had the hinges replaced at some point matter too much I think the weight of this fall front is necessitated the replacing of the hinges and then you can see that the ripple effect of the front is repeated in these lovely again rosewood drawers so this is really a piece that I think of straw Denari quality do you have it separately insured no we don't actually no no I know I think it might be worthwhile because something of this sort Mike well fetch between six eight thousand pounds in I think those were surrounded with water I was expecting to see quite a lot of instruments up here but when you brought this in and it was a German chronometer I thought myself are slightly over then I rise above the fleet actually scuttled itself here in 1919 did this come from down through your family yeah son I will lay a bet that this came off one of the ships because it's just the sort of instrument they'd have had now it's a marine chronometer it's actually made by kettle on old toner and I'll Turner was the Center in Germany where they tested a lot of chronometer and we've got actually in the lead with here we had a label for tips of keel he would have been the Chandler or the supplier and regulator of the piece to the German Navy there's something particularly interesting about this instrument well I'm so looking side because it's actually got they're real puzzle to get out of the box okay if we look at the balance wheel here you can actually see that it's like to balance feels the first one is the standard rim and then you've got this little tiny miniature balance wheels on both sides of the valance itself and they are for what is called middle temperature compensation they correct for small differences in temperature change in the middle of the temperature range the extremes will be taken care of by the the large balance expanding and contracting and the small ones will take care of minor differences and it is an extremely rare feature and the other interesting point about this instrument is it it has a pivoted dentist gameland chronometer escapement or dent escapement is the type of escaping that was used for all marine instruments and this one has a pivoted escapement which is most unlike German workers as time as a unique instrument and with a history of coming quite surely off the fleet one of the fleet ships here before they scuttled I would think that we'd certainly be looking at something between five and ten thousand pounds yeah quite glad it didn't go down on the ship yeah well at the end of last week's program you may remember I was speculating on exactly what we might find here in Orkney and indeed how many people would turn up because obviously there's a limited population well we've been more than satisfied on every conceivable count indeed one man from strongness was saying to me earlier he thought we'd seen roughly half the population of the islands here today it certainly felt like it and even our treasure trove has turned up during the day in various forms as well this for instance a stoneware pot that was recovered from the wreck of the German battle cruiser Hindenburg which was scuttled with the rest of the ships out in scapa flow in 1919 and we've seen so many of these to open his chairs and a lot of them are subtly different because they were made by individual crafters who all had their own ideas on how the design of the chair should be practically put together so are worn thanks to the people of Orkney and indeed those who joined us today from across the water on the north coast of Scotland they're now on their way back to casemis we're on our way now to Lancashire and I particularly hope you'll join us next week at the same time because that will be the last program in the current series of the Antiques Roadshow so until then from all of us here in Orkney good bye
