Scone Palace 2
The Antiques Roadshow returns to Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, where the team discover an ornate wooden box said to have been stolen from Napoleon.
The Antiques Roadshow returns to Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, where the team discover an ornate wooden box said to have been stolen from Napoleon, a portrait of a wartime heroine and a rather vicious-looking strap once wielded in Scottish classrooms.
Scone Palace provides an imposing backdrop for a roadshow brimming with beautiful treasures and items reputed to have famous historical connections.
Family legend holds that a 19th-century military campaign box was stolen from Napoleon - but can it be proven? A striking portrait reveals the story of a woman who helped save the lives of hundreds of Jews in occupied Holland during the Second World War. And we admire a silver tea service that was once due to be melted down to raise funds for a spitfire during the war.
Fiona Bruce also meets a teacher with a fearsome leather strap - the Scottish equivalent of the cane, an implement of corporal punishment only outlawed in the 1980s.
