This silver penny of Robert the Bruce was minted in Berwick following its recapture from the English in 1318, 4 years after the Scottish victory at Bannockburn. Bruce’s coins were struck in small numbers so very few survive. From the Lord Stewartby collection at the Hunterian.

Lord Stewartby gifted his collection to The Hunterian in 2017. It's the largest collection of Scottish coins ever assembled by a single individual. I gave a talk on it a few months ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjY4...

This silver groat of James III of Scotland (1484-1488) was one of the 1st coins minted in Northern Europe with a realistic portrait in the Renaissance style. This example from the Lord Stewartby Collection is one of the best preserved I've ever seen.

And the big question is going to be, with Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick stations being amalgamated... will the people redeveloping the former Stewartby brickworks be encouraged/forced to chip in alongside Universal for the new combined station: especially one with more London potential...

The development site is close to land where Universal is planning on building a theme park.

small print (71 p) contains a lot of new thinking, I particularly enjoyed the vexed Bicester Level Crossing offer: 'We'll build you a narrow under-height underpass, but we won't pay for it'. Sorted! Like Birnam Wood, stations are physically moving .. Ridgmont, Stewartby, Bedford St Johns, Cambourne

This is possibly the only complete set of King James VI & I's 9th Scottish coinage in existence. It was struck from 1605 to 1609 and consisted of 12 denominations that ranged in value from £12 to 6 pence Scots. The coins are from the Lord Stewartby Collection at the Hunterian.
