An amateur film made by William Loraine showing Saltburn beach on a busy summer’s day. The film also shows a garden party with bagpipe band that features the actor Roy Kinnear and a coach tour of the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. The film opens with general views of the beach beneath Cliff House at Marske-by-the-Sea. The sea is rough and crashing onto the beach.
