Home movie filmed by Doug Collender of a holiday to Scotland featuring a visit Edinburgh and its zoo as well as Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, in the Scottish Highlands.
At Edinburgh Zoo Rock hopper penguins swim about in a pool, a small girl and woman watch one pruning itself near to them. In another part of the zoo pelicans, peacocks and a variety of other exotic birds.
In a cage a number of Colobus Monkeys climb around the metal fencing, a baby hangs down from roof of the enclosure while others swing around. The woman and girl seen previously lean against the Orang-utan statue and wave at the camera.
At another enclosure crowds lean over looking down on Brown Bears swimming in their pool or walking around. The woman and girl are amongst the crowd.
A large pack of Emperor Penguins waddle past along a path and the film fades to show a building with a clock on the top fading again to show briefly a family standing atop of a grassy bank.
The film fades again to reveal Edinburgh Castle and a stage that has been set up in Queen Street Gardens. Crowds wonder through the gardens and two men work on a large decorative flower bed of in the design of a clock face. The woman and girl watch the men work.
At ‘Kart Raceway’ motorised go-karts speed around a track. Cars pass through a barrier, nearby a statue of a lion painted red. A series of signs hanging above shops in town or village such as ‘Osprey Fishing Tackle’, ‘Orcadian Stone Co’ and ‘Francis Needlework’. Visitors walk around a square of small businesses and another sign reads ‘Aviemore Centre. Highland Craft Centre’.
Cars travel along a busy road outside the town and the film ends with the woman and girl looking out across a loch.
