Thousands of people flocked to picturesque New Lanark today for the Scottish leg of the Antiques Roadshow.
And fans were particularly delighted to see presenter Fiona Bruce at the event at the world heritage site in South Lanarkshire.
More than 2,000 people went to the event for a chance to feature on the programme.
Items that were brought along included a watercolour painting worth thousands of pounds and a pair of intricately designed Japanese chairs.
Karen Somerville, 50, from Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, travelled to the event with daughter Victoria, 22.
They brought with them a watercolour painting depicting a woman sitting at a kitchen table that has been in the possession of their family for decades.
Karen said: "We brought a framed watercolour painting with us. We didn't have a clue about who painted it or how valuable it was, so that was the aim for us today.
"We found out that it was painted by a Dutch artist called Nicolas van der Waag and that it was painted between 1855 and 1936.
"It was given to one of my husband's aunts who worked as a maid at Burnbank House near Hamilton.
"The painting has been in the family ever since and we have all been interested in finding out more about it.
"An expert told us that it could be worth £2,000 to the right buyer.
"We'll take it back to the family and together we will decide what we want to do."
Martin Berkley, 73, from nearby Lanark, and his wife Mary, 51, had brought along a unusual Japanese chairs.
Martin said: "When I was a boy, my father bought a rambling big house in Herefordshire and the gentleman who lived there previously owned the chairs.
"He had been in Burma and brought the chairs back and left them to us. We just assumed they were Burmese and a few centuries old.
"However, the experts have now told us that they were actually made in 1910 and are in fact Japanese.
"We hoped they would be worth a significant amount of money but the expert told us they saw identical chairs in the palace of the Sultan of Selangor state in Malaysia.
"They are still worth £1,500 though so we are very happy with that."
Ann Stewart, 65, from Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, brought a near 100-year-old doll that belongs to her partner John Beastall, 73.
Ann said: "We have a near 100-year-old German Max Handwerck doll that belonged to my partner's late wife. It was given to her by an aunt who came from Wales.
"We think it was made in the 1920s but we wanted to find out for sure, so the experts will tell us how old it actually is.
"If it is valuable then it will be worth finding out if it's worth handing down to our family.
"It's really lovely to have the Antiques Roadshow here and especially in such a beautiful place like New Lanark.
"It has been absolutely smashing."
