The Repair Shop on the Road rolls into Ayrshire, Scotland this Wednesday, February 5th at 4:30 PM on BBC One, taking on a unique restoration project with a touch of literary history. Will and Steve visit the Scottish Boat Building School to work their magic on a rare three-piece folding canoe from the 1930s. The restoration takes on added poignancy as it will allow Tom, who has achondroplasia, to share his love of canoeing with his daughter.
Meanwhile, Will teams up with ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay to tackle a windowpane bearing graffiti inscribed by none other than Robert Burns himself. The episode also features Steve visiting a curling stone manufacturer in Mauchline, providing a glimpse into traditional Scottish crafts. The episode illustrates the meticulous care and expertise required to breathe new life into treasured objects, whether a rare canoe or a piece of literary history etched onto glass.
