A copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio, one of the most sought-after books in the world, has been discovered in a stately home on a Scottish island.
The 1623 first collected edition of plays was found in the library at Mount Stuart House, Isle of Bute – but its 400-year history is largely unknown.
Academics who authenticated the book called it a rare and significant find,
About 230 copies of the First Folio are known to exist. A copy owned by Oxford University sold for £3.5m in 2003.
