On the junction of Princes Street and The Mound in Edinburgh a policeman directs traffic. An electric tram approaches the junction as traffic moves along Princes Street. On the far side of the road a display of three lions and flags. Pedestrians on Princes Street cross halfway as heavy traffic moves along the road, in the distance coloured bunting draping a building.
Two women cross a road beside a decorative flowerbed, a bus travels past nearby. A van drives a long a street in a town.
On a beach children stand behind a rope barrier, in front dozens of sandcastles built by them. The exterior of The Parkstone Hotel changes a parade of children marching around an outdoor swimming pool. Young women parade around the pool passing a table around sit judges for a competition.
Crowds fill a beach, many sitting on deckchairs. Lettering on one of the chairs being erected state the location as Ayr. A row of chalets in a holiday park and children playing in a playground. A woman swims in an outdoor pool, a small girl stands in a fountain built beside the pool.
The film ends on a decorative flowerbed built beside a monument, possibly the Dugald Stewart Monument in Edinburgh.
