Imagine someone donating the above work of art to a charity shop, which then sells it for a mere £20. Then imagine finding out it could well have a strong connection to Robert the Bruce! This is where imagination is jettisoned, because it has really happened.
You can read all about it at this link https://tinyurl.com/3uvebexd, and will be able to see it in an episode of the BBC’s “The Bidding Room”. It seems that experts have confirmed “…it could be up to 700 years old….”
The beautiful work of art carries the name “Robert Rex Scotorum”, the legendary Robert the Bruce who won Scotland’s independence at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Absolute confirmation is still awaited, but there seems little doubt that a piece of Scotland’s history was purchased in Moffat, Dumfriesshire, for a mere £20!
