Series 1: Highlands - Treasure in the Attic

In this episode, the experts lend their skills to a community project, hear the story behind a new treasure to be repaired, and visit a local crafting hero.\n\nJoining Dom in the Highlands is Inverness-born traditional building conserver Rich. They are on the way to Nairn Museum, where renovations have revealed some unusual wall decorations – artworks painted directly on the bare walls of the museum's attic. Left behind by Polish soldiers stationed there during World War II, this art will be lost forever if it can’t be removed. However, removing century-old plaster is a delicate business, so there is no guarantee the artworks will survive the process.\n\nDom then travels to North Kessock to collect another precious item to be repaired back at the barn. He meets Carole, whose unusual clockwork ship in a glass dome evokes happy memories of childhood holidays in the Wester Ross village of Plockton. However, the paper sea it once sailed on is brittle and torn, and the tune no longer plays. Will David Burville be able to get this family heirloom - handed down from Carole’s great-aunt Elsie - making music on the high seas again?\n\nWhile Dom and Rich have their hands full at the museum, Will is in Beauly to meet Alan MacPherson, who has gone from keen shinty player to shinty stick maker. Now producing more than 1,400 shinty sticks each year from his Highland workshop, Alan instructs Will in the intricacies of creating equipment to stand up to the rigors of this hard-fought game. Once the woodwork is over, it is time for Will to test his sporting prowess.
