Guest may donate valuable Highland chieftain regalia

An Antiques Roadshow guest was shocked to learn her family's Highland chieftain regalia was worth up to £20,000, but may donate it. The guest's great-grandfather acquired the rare silverwork in the 1920s from the MacDonell clan. The collection, including a sporran, belt, powder horn, dirk, and plaid brooch, belonged to the MacDonell of Glengarry clan. Expert Gordon Foster highlighted the regalia's historical significance, linking it to a clan chief known for his lavish lifestyle and friendship with Sir Walter Scott. The guest is considering donating the items to a museum.
