Brodie Castle 3

BBC One - Antiques Roadshow, Series 45, Brodie Castle 3

Fiona and the team visit the impressive grounds of Brodie Castle in Moray.

Fiona Bruce and the team return to Brodie Castle in Moray, where treasures include a watch that saved a life and a sheep that changed the world. Fiona meets a family of bagpipe makers.

Fiona Bruce and the team visit the county of Moray in the north of Scotland. Brodie Castle has been home to the Brodie clan for some 800 years, and Fiona discovers the area’s ancient history in the form of the Rodney carving, dating from the 8th century, when the area was inhabited by the Celtic-speaking Picts. The Picts were known for their intricate carvings of people and standing stones like the Celtic cross that now stands proud in Brodie Castle’s grounds. 

Ronnie Archer-Morgan discovers a treasured cane with hidden secrets: the elegant rosewood heirloom features not only a compass but a telescope. Duncan Campbell inspects an engraved silver salver awarded to a local engineer for his successful design of a reaping machine - the forerunner of the modern combined harvester. Lisa Lloyd takes us on a walk through the history of fashion courtesy of a pair of rare 18th-century silk shoes and a Victorian lady’s dress.

Geoffrey Munn gets a royal visit in the form of a ruby, diamond and gold brooch that was a gift from the House of Hanover and made in pre-revolutionary Russia. The quest for the Golden Fleece may have shaped classical Greece, but Cristian Beadman discovers the fleece of the sheep who changed the modern world of genetics, plus the technology that made Dolly the sheep possible. And we couldn’t visit Scotland without enjoying the distinctive hum of bagpipes. Fiona is given a lesson in the idiosyncrasies of the different forms of pipes from a family of bagpipe makers.

Other treasures include a watch that saved a life, and a diamond Faberge bracelet provides the sparkling finish to proceedings at Brodie Castle.
