An oak table made from wood which formed part of the foundations of Old London Bridge is to be auctioned.
The foundations of the bridge over the River Thames were laid in 1177.
The table, which is owned by the Kinnaird Estate in Perthshire, could sell for up to £3,000, auctioneers Lyon and Turnbull said.
It bears a brass plaque about the origin of the wood, which was removed in 1833. It is set to go under the hammer in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
