ive tried to capture the hallmarks as best I can....

The lion rampant indicates this is Scottish silver. It was used in Glasgow from 1819 until the assay office closed in 1964 and in Edinburgh since 1975 when it replaced the thistle.

The castle (it should have three turrets) is Edinburgh.

Unfortunately the letter you can't identify is perhaps the most important piece of the puzzle as this (and the font used) will identify the year.

The initials RR are makers mark - maybe Robert Robertson or Robert Rankin.

Images uploaded need to be quite small. I resize to 100MB, I don't know if they need to be that small.

I can see linked images from the "Forum" view. I was looking for images within this thread. I am not yet a power user of the forum!
