A home movie of a holiday in Scotland, taking in the landscape and old historic locations and buildings
The film opens showing a parked car (Ford Zephyr?) on a country road, with a hilly landscape in the background. General views follow of the country landscape showing rivers, streams and a castle. A sign painted on rock at the roadside reads 'Wee Mackenzie Pass - 1957 - John Hunter'.
General views follow of a village around a harbour followed by a man and woman walking in the grounds of a small cottage. Other views show the ruins of an ancient abbey.
The film cuts to show visitors walking in and around an ornamental garden in the grounds of a castle. Swans on a lake are thrown tit-bits by passers by.
The next sequence is a phantom car ride along passing through a number of villages and towns. General views follow of a town centre set on the banks of a wide river.
Town and village road signs are filmed including those for Newton Stewart, Gatehouse of Fleet and Kirkcudbright. General views follow of a grassy headland and coastline.
At Kirkcudbright, lorries are being loaded with empty milk churns at the Scottish Milk Powder Company Ltd. General views show activities around the milk company's building.
More views show the ruined abbey at Dundrennan and a brief view of Gretna Green's old blacksmith's shop.
