In season 5 episode 30 of Antiques Road Trip, the two presenters set off on another adventure to explore different antique shops, flea markets and auction houses in search of hidden gems that can be sold for a profit. In this episode, the two antique experts are traveling through Scotland, looking for unique and interesting items to buy, bargains to be had and potentially valuable discoveries to make.

Their journey starts in the small fishing village of Mallaig on the west coast of Scotland, where they visit a local market in search of antiques. Both experts are immediately drawn to a beautiful 19th century Scottish mirror that has been expertly carved and beautifully decorated with intricate designs and symbols. They learn that the mirror is a rare and highly valued item, and could be worth a significant amount of money.

The presenters then visit a local antique dealer to sell some of the items they have bought on their journey so far. They show the dealer a collection of small silver items they picked up earlier, including a set of candlesticks and a sugar bowl. The dealer is impressed with the quality and condition of the items and makes them an offer they can't refuse.

The next stop on their journey takes them to a small auction house in the town of Fort William, where they attend an auction in search of a bargain. The auction house is packed with eager buyers all looking for a good deal. The presenter's attention is drawn to a beautiful oil painting of a Scottish landscape, which they are excited to buy. However, they must outbid their competitors in order to secure the purchase.

The next day, the experts head to a castle where they get a rare opportunity to meet the owner, a collector of rare and unique artefacts. The castle is filled with interesting items from across the world, including one of the world's largest collection of antique firearms. The presenter's are particularly interested in a stunning collection of Chinese vases, each one beautifully decorated with intricate designs and patterns.

Later in the episode, the presenters head to an antique shop in Glasgow, where they come across a rare piece of Scottish silverware. The item is exquisitely designed with intricate patterns, and they are excited to add it to their collection.

Finally, the experts head to an auction house in Edinburgh, where they hope to make a big profit. With so many interesting items up for auction, the competition is fierce, and they must be clever with their bidding. They secure a beautiful painting of a Scottish landscape, as well as a rare and valuable antique clock.

With their journey coming to an end, the presenters look back on the items they have discovered and reflect on the lessons they have learned from their experience.
