A book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson unearthed at a charity shop has raised £500 at auction.
The collection, written more than a century ago by the author of the classic Treasure Island, was donated anonymously to the Oxfam book shop on Glasgow's Byres Road.
The copy of A Child's Garden of Verses, first published in 1885, was a gift from Stevenson's mother to her niece and nephew.
It comes with the inscription "To my GG Niece and Nephew at Chudleigh with kind love."
A slip of paper inside revealed that it came from the library of Dr Adam Watson, the author's contemporary at Edinburgh University and his first cousin once removed.
