The area of collecting provincial Scottish silver is a fascinating one and there are many different towns and makers. Unfortunately, given that they were so small and produced so little silver, particularly sugar tongs, they are very rare. I have listed below all the towns from which I have seen sugar tongs.

The collecting of Scottish provincial silver is a very specialist area and the marks can be very difficult to decipher. If you do venture into this area then Richard Turner's book on Scottish Provincial marks will be essential. Even then there can be a lot of uncertainty over attributions and there is still a lot of work to be done to catalogue the various makers.

Genuinely attributable Scottish Provincial silver prices will certainly be at a premium.
