Creating a great deal of interest this specialist sale features Lot 458 ‘In the Haining’ a watercolour painted by the renowned artist, Tom Scott, which is expected to achieve between up to £7,000. There will be seven watercolours by Tom Scott, and having previously sold Tom’s paintings for up to £16000 at Swan and Turner, there will certainly be some fervent bidding.

Frank Forrest, Auctioneer at Swan and Turner said: “There are many beautiful pieces included in this sale, and it really makes it very special that we are able to offer the exceptional pieces of artwork. A painting, which may spring a surprise and sell well above the estimate, is the high quality 17th Century Portrait of Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox, which has been consigned from a lady from the west of Scotland, and carries a pre-sale estimate of £4,000 to £6,000.”

Frank went on to say: “We are always extremely well supported by people here at the auction rooms in Jedburgh, and our sales always create a great deal of interest from telephone bidders throughout the UK and abroad.”

Other highlights include a collection of Snaffles prints, and it is expected that these will prove particularly popular with the hunting community. Ceramics will include an early Worcester (circa 1765) blue and white half tea set, Lot 191, with an estimated price of £800 to £1,200, and a rare Beswick Silver Dunn Galloway Bull, Lot 12, estimated at £500 to £700.
