    Wonderful news! The painting is a Treasure and not just for the Buccleuch Family but visitors to Drumlanrig also!

    I was pleased to read this earlier today. We were told the story and shown where this painting "used" to hang when we visited Drumlanrig in June.

    The story seems a little odd to me with the negotiations and all. It should be interesting to see what comes out of it.
