work here is a real example of the creativity of cumnock in the early 19th century. like to add, um, uh, probably two more names-- victoria and albert... yep. because of course they popularized anything scottish. what is more normal for me is to find this type of object, which is, uh-- you can see it's in a pale wood, and in sycamore. and, in this case, it's actually been printed with a design, one one side, you've got floors castle, and on the other side, you've got kelso. um, and these are things which, even today, it's fair to say are relatively affordable. 'cause i know that i could go and buy something like that for-- for maybe £50 to 80. that, obviously, has got to appeal not just to a tartanware collector, but obviously to, uh, to a visiting card collector. let's have a quick look at it, because that, i would have thought, is gonna be in the sort of-- around the £100 to 150 mark. now, the collection itself was put together by yourself, or...? well, my father, being an ayrshire man, couldn't resist collecting mauchline ware. and he really collected from before

in extra employment and new people, and to improve the environment, and to link that extension to cumnock you know, the grounds here, so that you actually create something really worthwhile. that's the aim. if it can be done well... and if we can keep it going and not have to sell the furniture eventually because we haven't got any money, that will be a success.
