Sir Walter Scott's stolen Waterloo souvenir returned (Scotland)
A stolen souvenir from the Battle of Waterloo has been returned to the Borders home of Sir Walter Scott.
The silver bowl, known as a quaich, was taken from Abbotsford House near Melrose in 1994.
However, it was spotted late last year in a French antiques market by silver expert Wynyard Wilkinson who identified it and arranged for its return.
The Waterloo Tree Quaich, one of many historic relics collected by Scott, will go on public display this weekend.
