Roo Irvine and Steven Moore continue their antiques road trip journey on the third day, traveling to the picturesque town of Peebles. The Scottish weather proves unpredictable as the duo begin their hunt for hidden antiques and treasures. The day starts with a stop at an antique shop where they come across a unique display cabinet. Roo is drawn to a beautiful set of silverware, while Steven is intrigued by a decorative walking cane.
Next up, the pair visit an old salvage yard where they find themselves surrounded by strange and unusual objects. Roo is immediately drawn to a vintage arcade game, while Steven is fascinated by an old fire station bell. They also come across a large selection of old enamel signs, which brings back fond memories for Roo.
As they move on to the next challenge, the sun decides to make an appearance. They visit a location that holds a special place in the heart of Roo - a traditional Scottish woolen mill. Surrounded by stacks of wool and yarn, Roo and Steven meet an expert weaver who explains the history of the mill and its significance to the local area. The duo is then given a challenge to find a rare piece of Scottish tweed. They have just 30 minutes to find the perfect piece before time runs out.
The day continues with a stop at a picturesque country estate where Roo and Steven meet the owner, a passionate collector of antique furniture. The collector takes them on a tour of his estate and shows them his impressive collection of authentic period furniture. Roo is especially taken with a Georgian chest of drawers, while Steven is impressed with a fine example of Chinoiserie.
Finally, the day comes to an end with a visit to a traditional Scottish auction house. The auctioneer presents Roo and Steven with a set of unique items that they must guess the estimated value of. As the auction begins, the duo watches with bated breath as the bidding starts. Will they be successful in their bids, or will they be outdone by the other collectors at the auction house?
