Note: Dornoch Cathedral is situated in the Highlands of Scotland on the coast in Sutherland. The Cathedral has been in existence in some form since the 13th century.

It may be that this imp suffered fire damage and survived the fire attack on Dornoch Cathedral in 1570 due to a feud between the Murrays of Dornoch and the Mackays of Strathnaver.

The patronage of the Wemyss family at nearby Wemyss Castle was an enormous contribution to the success that Robert Heron & Son enjoyed with Wemyss Ware. Indeed, as a tribute to the family two vases in the range were named for Randolph Erskine-Wemyss’ sister Lady Henry Grosvenor (Grosvenor vase) and for his second wife Lady Eva Wellesley (Lady Eva vase). From the beginning of the project and throughout its heyday at the turn of the 20th century, their continuing support ensured the success of the range. This lot bears testament to their support as heart-shaped plaques like the current lot were specially commissioned from Robert Heron & Son by the Erskine-Wemyss family to decorate the Friendship Garden, created within The Chapel Garden in 1894 by Mr Erskine Wemyss and his then wife Lady Lillian Wemyss. Each heart was painted with a motto or name pertaining to friendship and they can be seen in contemporary photographs attached to a tree in the middle of the garden. Contemporary photographs of the garden and the plants donated dated 1894 also show borders of donated plants surrounding the central tree and each donor’s plot is marked with a heart-shaped plaque. The plaque offered in this lot is the only known example with the name of the donor rather than a motto. Andrew S. Cunningham in his 1909 publication ‘Randolph Gordon Erskine Wemyss: An Appreciation’ writes about the garden; “The garden is situated in a semi-circular creek in Red Rocks Bay, to the west of the village of West Wemyss….To get to the place of burial one has to pass through a pergola of ivy and hops and pretty creeping hops, and at every turn he meets rustic gateways and pretty creeping plants. In a pond constructed in the red rock there are some rare specimens of plants and roses grow in profusion. The old dovecote which takes the name of the East Tower, has been converted into a summer house, and above the entrance are carved the words: “I wish the sun would shine on all men’s fruits and flowers as well as mine” 140

Note: Although it may appear this mull is missing a lid, it is in fact the earliest style of these iconic Scottish baluster mulls. The original design had a loose bung made from cork (sometimes leather wrapped) to close the mull rather than a hinged lid. Indeed some early examples such as this can be seen having later hinge and lids added. Also, the fact this example is dated makes it scarce and unusual.

ANDREW DAVIDSON

While it is often tempting to consider rare pieces such as this likely bought in and only marked by provincial makers (a practice that no doubt happened) the size, proportion and manufacture of this box seems to dismiss this theory. The hand which has made this, skilled no doubt, was not a specialist box maker. Possibly the only piece of Arbroath holloware outside a museum collection and arguably the finest piece by the maker this box is an important survival for this Scottish centre of silver production.

GLASGOW - A PAIR OF SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL SHOE BUCKLES

GLASGOW – A RARE SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL TEA TRAY

ROBERT GRAY marked RG, Glasgow town mark, of arched rounded rectangular form, beaded border and threaded detail, with steel tongue (2) 6.5cm, 3.2oz

£600-800

MILNE & CAMPBELL marked M&C, Glasgow town mark, MC, O, of large circular scalloped outline with moulded rim, raised on four scrolling hoot feet, the reverse of the tray engraved William Crawford born 1 Jany 1704, Elizabeth Gow born 15 Decr 1712 – Married 5 August 1731 – Died 21 May 1771, Died 5th June 1787’ 36cm diameter, 35oz Note: The tea tray was an expensive optional extra within larger tea services and likely rarely commissioned. Certainly the survival rate of such pieces is extremely rare when compared to salvers and tea pot stands. When compared to the extensive survival of teapot stands / waiters and traditional sized salvers the true rarity of such a piece becomes evident. The survival of such items of Scottish manufacture pre 1750 appears to number as few as six, with only one provincially made example. The idea of a tea service is a relatively modern one, with matching items bought at the same time. It is likely that most services were ‘collected’ over time and indeed utilised fashionable porcelain as well as silver. The need for an equipage which included a large tea tray such as this would certainly have been for the highest classes of society only. Indeed there are few items of Scottish George II silver which would be larger or heavier than a tea tray such as this, perhaps only spirit kettles or the iconic ovoid coffee urns, again cementing the status an object of this type would have brought. Such an item would only have graced the wealthiest and most fashionable families and houses of Scotland. The fascinating engraving on the reverse presumably shows the origin of either the wealth or indeed recycled silver which was used to create this tea tray, likely closely upon the death of the Elizabeth Gow in 1787 when this was likely crafted.

It seems fair to say he was the most accomplished silversmith in Inverness in the mid 18th century and received many important commissions. His work is scarce but from what survives we can see a maker of great quality receiving important and fashionable commissions. Like his contemporaries, he produced several fine quaichs of traditional form and these were likely a mainstay of his larger work. However, his true skill is seen in larger pieces which would not have looked out of place coming from his Edinburgh contemporaries. He produced two hot milk jugs, extremely rare for any Scottish silversmith, let alone provincially made (Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum 01365 and Inverness Art Gallery & Museum 1978.260). Two pairs of mugs are recorded, one within a private collection (‘Exhibition of Scottish Silver’ Royal Scottish Museum August – September 1948 item 331), the other within the National Museums of Scotland collection National Museum Scotland (MEQ 1575 and 1576). These salvers are the only recorded in Inverness silver by any maker and one of only a very small handful of pairs of provincial examples extant.

£400-600 ALEXANDER GRAHAM ESQUIRE OF CAPELLI, BARRHEAD

300 Listed as a Director of the Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilson Direct in Bradshaw’s Railway Directory of 1850 Graham would have had quite a successful career and a respected member of the community. As seen engraved on this fine snuff box, Graham went on to become the Captain of the 8th or Neilston Co R.R.V. also know as the Royal Rifle Volunteers. Following an invasion scare in 1859 the volunteer movement started to grow. Many Rifle and Artillery Volunteer Corps composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the Regular British Army in time of need and as such became a precursor to the Territorial Army. The 3rd (Renfrewshire) Volunteer Battalion, Princess Louise’s (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) was formed on the 4th August 1860 and the 8th Neilston formed part of this. In 1862 the year the snuff box was presented, the county uniform of medium grey from the 1st Volunteer Batallion was adopted and worn until 1874. A generous gift to their captain, helps to reinforce how well regarded Graham was. It is interesting to note that the fine table snuff box has been made by a Glasgow maker making this piece truly a West Coast item.

the oval bowl with flared border and chased floral decoration, the stem with scroll and foliate motifs, oval cartouches to either side, with one engraved LUCIFER, the leaf clasped terminal of scroll outline 40cm long, 7.4oz Provenance: Scottish Silver, Lyon & Turnbull 14th August 2012, lot 495 Note: Since being originally offered for sale research has proven this ladle was indeed presented a horse racing prize. Lucifer was a much-celebrated horse from the Whitworth and Hambleton Mare, born in 1813. On 11th October 1819 it is recorded Lucifer won the Edinburgh & Caledonian Hunt Meeting 100 guinea prize race over six miles. The prize is recorded as a gold cup to the value of 100 guineas but had been funded by fourteen subscribers (presumably the horse owners) each adding 10 guineas meaning the prize fund outweighed the cost of the cup. This extra 40 guinea prize money was likely used to buy further silver or gold plate which this ladle would appear to be part of. Lucifer was later renamed Clootie, around 1820, and died in 1821. His death is recorded in the Sporting Magazine stating that “he had been quite well the night before” Other presentation ladles such as this have been recorded but few bear the name of the winning horse making this a rare documentary survival.

Life must go on and perhaps the commissioner’s intent was not only to have another piece of fine silver plate for his home, but also have his wealth in an easily portable form should the uprising and rebellion go the wrong way.

Casters were likely more often supplied as pairs and it is very rare to find complete original sets of three such as this. Even more so when the ‘blind’ caster remains present and unpierced. When fashions changed the need for a ‘blind’ caster was proceeded by having three pierced examples and as the overall style of the casters changed less than their use it was possible to have the blind examples pierced later to ‘match’, rather than commission a whole new set in a more modern style. These casters display another scarce feature in Scottish silver of this date being octagonal, while it was a style fashionable in London it appears not to have taken hold as strongly in Scotland and pieces are scarce. It is tempting to consider the maker of these pieces not being Edward Penman, as the maker’s mark appears to be lacking, however as has been noted and discussed before the apparent lack of the maker’s mark likely means the Assay Master and maker were the same person. If it were considered that the maker’s mark is lacking the maker would likely be considered Henry Beathune of Edinburgh whose hand is seen to have more octagonal work than any other maker. In addition, the scale and gauge of these pieces follows the quality seen throughout his work.

JACOBITE WORKS OF ART

354 JACOBITE RISING OF 1715; JOHN ERSKINE, 22ND OR 6TH EARL OF MAR, & JACOBITE DUKE OF MAR (1675-1732) PROCLAMATION OF JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART AS KING JAMES VIII, BRAEMAR, 7 SEPTEMBER 1715 Single bifolium written on two sides (in a secretarial hand), with Mar’s autograph signature (‘Mar’) and red wax seal at foot, docketed ‘To the Right Honorable the Lord Haddo, 7th Septem[be]r 1715’, old folds Note: The sole identified extant manuscript copy of the document known to posterity as the Earl of Mar’s ‘letter to the gentlemen of Perthshire’, issued in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the forces of ‘our rightful and natural king James the 8th’ the day after the raising of the Stuart standard at Braemar, and instructing recipients to take up arms in support of the Jacobite cause. The content of the letter is summarised in a handful of accounts including Robert Chambers’s History of the Rebellions in Scotland (Edinburgh, 1829), p. 187, and printed in full in Cowan, The Ancient Capital of Scotland: The Story of Perth from the Invasion of Agricola to the Passing of the Reform Bill (London, 1904), volume 2, chapter 21. In addition to a call to arms, it contains an instruction to ‘source what arms and ammunition are in the hands of suspected persons’, and a warning to ensure that troops ‘commit no plundering nor disorders upon the highest penalties and [James’s] displeasure’. It pre-dates by a two days another proclamation, often printed in accounts of the Fifteen since the 18th century and differing substantively only in its second paragraph, which contains the specific instruction to muster at the ‘Inver of Braemar, on Monday next’. This copy is addressed to William Gordon, Lord Haddo (1679-1745), the future second Earl of Aberdeen, who was suspected of negotiating with the Whigs after the Hanoverian succession and during the Fifteen ‘let the Jacobites down badly by fleeing to Edinburgh, thus earning the contempt of those who had previously trusted him and indeed in some cases had been “much guided by his sentiments”’ (History of Parliament, online). The conduct of Mar himself has been described by one authority as ‘marked with a disastrous combination of chronic indecision and strategic incompetence’ (Macinnes, Clanship, Commerce and the House of Stuart, 1996, p. 200).

spotted, old folds and ink-smudging; together with an anti-Jacobite poem (‘I ever have denied / To be on James’s side’; on a single sheet). Note: A fascinating primary source for the use of coded letters by the crown’s agents during the reign of Queen Anne, on this evidence preoccupied with counteracting the Jacobite threat. There is a potential connection to the great mathematician and cryptographer John Wallis (1616-1703), who acceded to the newly created position of official decipherer to the secretary of state under William III in 1701, and continued in the post under Anne until his death two years later.

Note: James Hepburn of Keith (1691-?) was involved in the 1715 Jacobite rising as part of the troops raised by the Earl of Winton in East Lothian. The dramatic style in which he swore allegiance to Prince Charles Edward Stuart three decades later was vividly described by Sir Walter Scott in Tales from a Grandfather:

’As the Prince entered the door of the palace of Holyrood, this gentleman stepped from the crowd, bent his knee before him in testimony of homage, and, rising up, drew his sword, and, walking before him, marshalled him the way into the palace of his ancestors. Hepburn bore the highest character as the model of a true Scottish gentleman. He, like Lord Elcho, disclaimed the slavish principles of the violent Jacobites; but conceiving his country wronged, and the gentry of Scotland degraded by the Union, he, in this romantic manner, dedicated his sword to the service of the Prince who offered to restore him to his rights’ (1842 edition, volume 3, p. 195).

Note: An interesting compilation of the leading anti-Jacobites in Edinburgh at the beginning of the 1745 Rising. On 4th September, two days before this list appears to have been drawn up, the Jacobite army took Perth. On 16th September Edinburgh was taken by the Jacobites without a fight, although Edinburgh Castle remained in government hands, indicating the resolve of those on the list was not the strongest although Drummond himself again joined the army, and was present at the battle of Prestonpans. During his life he was six times elected Lord Provost of the city.

361 SCOTTISH MUSIC REEL BOOK OF ELIZABETH ROSE OF KILRAVOCK, C.1766 Music manuscript, [48] ff. (16 x 20.6cm), on laid paper, written in brown ink, mainly on rectos only, containing some 75 pieces in total, 6 staves to the page, ownership inscription ‘El. Rose, Kilravock Castle, Decr, 27th 1766’, to front free endpaper, bound in contemporary quarter calf, drab paper sides, binding worn and marked, f. [26] with closed tear, a few short closed tears elsewhere Note: A substantial primary source for the history of traditional Scottish music and its most iconic dance, the strathspey, an insight into the music enjoyed by a woman at the heart of the flourishing of Highland culture in the 18th century, and a rare survival from the formative period in which Scottish reels first began to be recorded and published. Belonging to a young Elizabeth Rose, 19th of Kilravock (1747-1815), the manuscript contains some 75 individual pieces, of which ten are identified as strathspeys, three as ‘rants’, and the rest as reels. Around a third of the pieces (27 in total) have titles in Gaelic, which, together with several pieces with generic titles (including seven simply titled ‘A Strathspey Reel’), are inevitably elusive in the published record. Many of the tunes appear in the earliest printed collections of reels and are now well known, such as ‘The Duke of Perths Reell’, and ‘The Fir Tree a Stratchspey [sic] Reell’, both printed in Robert Bremner’s A Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances (c.1757), ‘Lord Albremarle [sic] his Reell’ (John Johnson, A Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, 1744-51), and ‘Miss Katy Gordon of Earlstons Reell’ (John Riddell, A Collection of Scots Reels, Minuets etc. for the Violin of c.1766). As the Roses of Kilravock were supporters of the Hanoverian succession, an

especially interesting inclusion is ‘The Sows Teal to Gordie a Reell’, a lampoon of Sophia Charlotte von Kielmansegg, half-sister and reputed mistress of George I; James Hogg included the words in his Jacobite Relics of 1819. The manuscript pre-dates Angus Cumming’s A Collection of Strathspey, or Old Highland Reels (1780), ‘the earliest collection of strathspeys by a native of the area’ (Lamb, p. 73), and coincides with the gradual formalisation of the strathspey during the 18th century: ‘The earliest written tune in strathspey rhythm is ‘Macpherson’s Testament’, in the 1710 Sinkler manuscript [now at the National Library of Scotland]. Although the snap is missing from the original notation … it would have been present in performances of the tune. The Menzies manuscript of 1749 [now at the A. K. Bell Library in Perth], which describes a set of dance figures, gives us the first mention of the word ‘strathspey’ in connection with a specific type of music or dance: two selections are described as ‘strathspey reels’. The first compositions clearly exhibiting both snaps and dots, and called ‘strathspeys’, are two items in [James Oswald’s] The Caledonian Pocket Companion [12 vols, 1743-59] … named ‘A New Strathspey Reel’. Finally, Bremner’s 1757 collection gives us the first anonymous tunes described as strathspeys, such as “Let’s to the Ard” (Lamb, pp. 67-8) The manuscript is not apparently in Elizabeth’s hand and may have been presented to her by a music tutor or other acquaintance, perhaps the Duncan Campbell to whom five reels are attributed, including ‘Miss Roses Reel by Duncan Campbell’, written in A major using AEAE scordatura; a violin retuned in this manner produces greater resonance in the key of A, in which the bagpipes (banned under the 1746 Act of Proscription) are conventionally notated. Another insight into contemporary performance is provided by ‘Jennie Jo a Reell’, which includes the direction to ‘Touch ye violin with the bow 4 times’, with a drawing of a violin indicating the points to be struck. The National Library of Scotland holds a set of four part-books from Kilravock preserving otherwise unknown chamber music by Thomas Erskine, Earl of

103

Kellie (Acc.10303), together with three further volumes of pieces by various composers including Handel, Corelli and Arne (Acc. 11420). As of June 2022 Elizabeth Rose’s commonplace book was for sale with a leading member of the London rare-book trade. Provenance: Elizabeth Rose, 19th of Kilravock (1747-1815) succeeded to the head of the family in 1782, becoming an influential hostess and correspondent, and developing Kilravock’s reputation for music-making and as a focal point of Highland culture. Prince Charles Edward Stuart was entertained at Kilravock by Elizabeth’s father Hugh, 17th of Kilravock, on 14 April 1745, two days before the Battle of Culloden, his visit followed by one from the Duke of Cumberland, as recounted by antiquary Cosmo Innes in a history of the Rose family published in 1848: ‘When Prince Charles Edward rode out from Inverness eastward, to support his party retiring from the fords of Spey before Cumberland’s army, he stopped at the Castle of Kilravock, and was received there with becoming respect. He made himself very agreeable – asked to see the children, kissed each of them, and praised their beauty. Observing a violin, he inquired if the Laird played, begged a tune, and of course was pleased ... The following day was the Duke of Cumberland’s birth-day, and he spent it at Kilravock, and lay there that night. He remarked, “you have had my cousin here!” But when the Laird would have apologized, on the ground that he had no means of resistance, the Duke stopped him, and said he had done quite right – that he could not refused to received Charles Edward, and receiving him, he must treat him as a Prince. Next day the “cousins” met at Culloden! Such is the tradition of the house’ (p. 415) Robert Burns visited Elizabeth at Kilravock twice, in 1787 and 1788, and wrote afterwards to thank her sending him the music for two reels he had heard during his stay there. Innes’s work contains a character sketch of Elizabeth which emphasises her literary and musical interests:

‘She … was a great letter-writer … the choice companion, the leader of all cheerful amusements, the humorous story-teller, the clever mimic, the very soul of society … Everything literary – every one connected with literature – was ranked unreasonably high. She was content to admire and to praise as her literary guides directed … Still, in a very country where there was little learning in either sex, her extensive reading gave her a certain pre-eminence, which she never sacrificed in society by any pedantry or blue-stocking affectations … Without being an accomplished musician, for she was almost self-taught, she had music to charm wherever she came. She sung the airs of her own country, and she had learnt to take a part in catches and glees to make up the party with her father and brother. The same motive led her to study the violin, which she played like male artists, supported against her shoulder. The guitar she learned, to humour her dear old Uncle Clephane, and she continued it to delight all her friends. The spinet and guitar were here companions in all her changes of abode and changes of fortune, which she loved to write of as great and disastrous … none who came within her sphere escaped the fascination of her attraction’ (pp. 469-71).

Worn by supporters of the Stuart royal family they would have been hidden under clothing and a highly personal accessory. They were presumably only shown to other supporters or to back up a person’s claim to be a supporter. Their use and significance took on a further role with the ousting of King James and the growing Jacobite cause.

373 A RARE AND LARGE JACOBITE GLASS MID 18TH CENTURY the deep round funnel bowl engraved to one side with a thistle flanked by two leaves; inscribed above the thistle ‘DAMNATION TO THE UNION’ and below ‘Appin and the Cause’; inscribed to the opposing side ‘HANOVER TO THE DEVIL’; raised on a plain stem and round conical foot 18.6cm high

£3,000-5,000

Note: This rare Jacobite glass combines commonly recognised Jacobite symbols and emblems seen across the wider survival of glasses and other works of art alongside what appear to be unique mottos. While Jacobite glasses are regularly decorated with mottos such as FIAT, REDITTE or relate to Jacobite clubs such as the Friendly Hunt the mottos to this glassware are previously unrecorded. The combination of mottos not only shows Jacobite support but gives a clue to the identity of the original commissioner, or at least their clan. The motto HANOVER TO THE DEVIL shows the hope of the owner that the Stuart legitimacy would be recognised and the Hanoverian Kings would not only be removed from the throne but sent to the Devil. This speaks of the divine right the Stuarts held their claim, the Devil being the only ‘reward’ for taking a divinely ordained king’s place. Other glasses with the House of Hanover and the Devil are recorded, notably within the collection of Traquair House. The motto DAMNATION TO THE UNION is overtly an anti-Union sentiment which many Scots still held by the mid 18th century. The feeling Scotland had certainly not come out of the deal positively and had been let down by the agreement made and later reneged, as they saw it, was wide spread. Perhaps however the smaller motto of APPIN AND THE CAUSE gives us most insight. This must relate to the Stewart of Appin clan who were such staunch supporters of the Jacobite cause from the earliest days. The commissioner stating support for the clan and the cause in the same motto surely was closely connected if not the leader of the clan. Putting their right, belief and commitment to the cause as closely as that as the cause itself, in other words the Stuarts. Sadly provenance to back this theory does not exist but it is not a motto seen elsewhere and indeed would make no sense on any other families glassware as offers support to one family not all those involved.

Cantle 20.5cm wide, overall length 51cm Note: This fine exmaple of a highland dress sporran typifies and exemplifies the style of the early 19th century and circa 1820 when the Scottish revival was at its peak. The large and wide cantle heavily embossed with thistle but also incorporating the wider fashion of rococo scrolls, also the addition of subtle roe heads no doubt a comment on the families Stuart and Jacobite past. The applied crest is also unusual, and shows the quality of this commission. While crest are often seen they are almost always engraved on, in this case the crest and motto have been separately made and applied a much more expensive option which has been elevated further by gilding. Th long hair body points to an earlier date along with the six tassels two practice which were far less commonly seen by the Victorian era. The quality and timing of the commission of this piece would appear to closely tie to the visit of King George IV to Edinburgh in 1822 and while it cannot be aid with certainty would have been worn at events surrounding this it seems highly likely, at least, it was inspired by such royal events.

This offers two possibilities for the original owner / commissioner of this fine highland dress suite, Sir Alexander Wentworth MacDonald, 2nd Baron Macdonald and 10th Baronet of Sleat (9th December 1773 – 19th June 1824) or his brother Sir Godfrey MacDonald, 3rd Baron Macdonald and 11th Baronet of Sleat (14th October 1775 – 13th October 1832). It seems most likely that Sir Godfrey had these commissioned when he took over the titles and chiefdom of the clan from his brother, who had died without issue, in 1824.

Although the information on the plaque surely cannot be correct, this sword is neither a claymore or a pattern known at the time of the ‘45 it shows the great historical value placed on relics of this period by the early 19th century.

19TH CENTURY

Provenance: E. A. Campbell (1879-1951)

bearing cadency for Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Saxe Coburg

Note: Born into a military family, E. A. A. Campbell was destined for a soldier’s life.

76cm wide

Captain Campbell was commissioned into the 2nd/7th Gordon Highlander in 1914 and served until 1919.

Prince Alfred, made Duke of Edinburgh in 1866, had a varied and successful naval career.

But it was his fascination with the uniforms and the badges of the Regiment’s that inspired his works and made him an authority on the subject.

Promoted to Admiral of the fleet in 1893, Percy Scott’s memoirs note ‘as commander in chief, the Duke of Edinburgh had, in my humble opinion, no equal’

His paintings were published in the Tiger and Sphinx and his works really give us an insight into the personal element of a soldier’s life.

Current thinking on this piece shows it to be from the Dukes flagship the HMS Alexandra.

His paintings depict Officers and other ranks, those shown here show Privates in marching order, one with grey greatcoat and bonnet cover and one without.

The ship known as the ‘Old Alex’ spent the majority of its career as a flagship, notably working in operations dissuading Russion aggression toward the Ottoman Empire.

ISLAND

465 HIGHLAND PARK 1902 RESERVE - BERRY BROTHERS & RUDD bottled in 1952 or later No vol/ABV stated

£8,000-12,000

This truly remarkable bottle of HIGHLAND PARK must rank not only as the oldest vintage from Highland Park but also as one of a very small handful of whiskies from early 20th century distillation: making this particular bottle one of the oldest and rarest single malts available to collectors. Bottled by Berry Brothers & Rudd, who have been operating in the heart of St James, London since the 17th century, their reputation as a wine and spirits merchant is second to none. Interestingly, the presnt lot dates from the year of the coronation of King Edward VII and was most likely bottled shortly after the death of King George VI in 1952 or 1953. While no age statement is on the label, the appearance of the Royal Warrant of George VI with reference to him as the ‘Late King George VI’, means the bottling occurred soon after his passing, and before the new warrant of Queen Elizabeth II was introduced. An exceptionally early vintage at 50 (or more) years old was extremely rare for the time. Serge Valentin rated this and 86/100 on WhiskyFun, but emotionally ranked this at 99 or 100 points given that it was the oldest malt he had ever tasted!

£25,000-35,000

The 1960s distilled expressions of BOWMORE are considered legendary, and for many represent the flavour profile of the distillery at its very best. Indeed it can also be considered that these bottlings illustrate the very best of Scotch Whisky production as a whole. Iconic examples from Bowmore that date from this period include the 1966 Samoroli Bouquet, as well as the Bowmore Black, White & Gold series. The present lot, a 1964 single cask, sits proudly alongside these, and with only 99 bottles ever released, must rank amongst the rarest too. For the lucky few who have tasted this exceptional vintage, the delicate balance of exotic fruits and subtle smoky notes is beyond comparison, and these coveted vintages continue to be hailed as some of the finest and most sought-after single malts for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

OTHER MALTS & BLENDS 498 JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL ROBERT BURNS bottled to celebrate the life and work of Robert Burns, the bottle engraved with an excerpt from ‘Rantin’ Rovin’ Robin’ 70cl/ 43% Note: This unique edition of Johnnie Walker was a special bottling for a commemorative dinner held by Diageo in 2006, some 210 years after the poet’s death. This bottle itself acted as the RSVP for the event and rarely appears at auction. Inscribed with famous lines from Robert Burns’ poetry, it is a highly unusual bottle. The number produced is unknown but it must rank among the rarest bottlings of this world-renowned whisky.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

22.2

FOR BUYERS (UK)

extent provided below.

These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used.

(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. 3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological

report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided

he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300. (e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

(b) As agent for an undisclosed principal: If You are bidding as an agent for an undisclosed principle (the ultimate Buyer(s)) You accept personal liability to pay the Purchase Price and all other sums due, unless it has been agreed in writing with us before commencement of the auction that the Bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party acceptable to us and we will seek payment from the named third party. 5. BIDDING IN PERSON If You wish to bid in the saleroom You must register for a numbered bidding paddle before You begin bidding. Please ensure You bring photo identification with You to allow us to verify Your registration. 6.

always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we Reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve. If You make a written bid on a Lot which does not have a Reserve and there is no higher bid than Yours, we will bid on Your behalf at around 50% of the lower Estimate or, if lower, the amount of Your bid.

C. DURING THE SALE 1. ADMISSION TO OUR AUCTIONS We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. We may refuse admission at any time before, during or after the auction. 2. RESERVES Unless indicated by an insert symbol (∆), all Lots in this Catalogue are offered subject to a Reserve. A Reserve is the confidential Hammer Price established between us and the Seller. The Reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low Estimate and will not exceed the low Estimate for the Lot. 3. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

CURRENCY CONVERTER The saleroom video screens and bidding platforms may show bids in some other major currencies as Well as

sterling. Any conversion is for guidance only and we cannot be bound be any rate of exchange used. We are not responsible for any error (human or otherwise) omission or breakdown in providing these services. 7. SUCCESSFUL BIDS Unless the Auctioneer decides to use their discretion as set out above, when the Auctioneer’s hammer falls, we have accepted the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the Seller and the successful Bidder. We will issue an invoice only to the registered Bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by post/or email after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling You whether or not Your bid was successful.

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY 1. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 2. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer

Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE) This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. 2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as

148 amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must: (a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed

that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest. 3. YOUR WARRANTIES (a) You warrant that the funds used for settlement are not connected with any criminal activities, including tax evasion and You are neither; under investigation, have been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes. (b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that: (i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer(s) of the Lot(s) in accordance with all relevant anti-money laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and; (iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. PAYMENT 1. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Within 7 days of a Lot being sold You will pay to us the Total Amount Due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000 per Buyer per year. (b) Any payments by You to us can be applied by us towards any sums owing by You to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by You or Your agent, whether express or implied. (c) We will only accept payment from the registered Bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the Buyer’s name on an invoice or re-issue the invoice in a different name.

The risk in and the responsibility for the Lot will transfer to You from whichever is the

earlier of the following: (i) When You collect the Lot; or (ii) At the end of the 30th day following the date of the auction, or, if earlier, the date the Lot is taken into care by a third party unless we have agreed otherwise with You in writing. (e) You shall at Your own risk and expense take away any Lots that You have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later.

(f) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (g) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for Lots not collected by the appropriate time. 2. IN THE EVENT OF NONPAYMENT If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) To proceed against You for damages for breach of contract; (b) To rescind the contract for sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to You; (c) To resell the Lot(s) (by auction or private treaty) in which case You shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the Total Amount Due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). (d) To remove, store and insure the Lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from You all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) To charge interest at a rate of 5% a year above the Bank of Scotland base rate from time to time on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) To retain that or any other Lot sold to You until You pay the Total Amount Due; (g) To reject or ignore bids from You or Your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) To apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or which become due to You towards the settlement of the Total Amount Due by You and to exercise a lien over any of Your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. You will be deemed to have granted
