Leather Ball from Scotland’s Wild Ba’ Game | Glasgow News

A 1907 leather ball from Scotland’s wild Kirkwall Ba’ Game—where two teams, the Uppies and Doonies, battle for glory with no rules, no refs, and pure chaos—is selling at auction with a pre-bid of £1,000. Once awarded to Pat Gunn, this historic artifact from the Youths’ Ba’ era is part of a collection by famed Scottish historian John Manson Robertson, who even won the main game in 1966. Mounted on a stand and paired with his book, the ball is rare and deeply cherished, sparking serious interest as it’s expected to fetch £300–£500, but already has a bidder willing to pay double.
