This is a film of a tour beginning with a coastal region, possibly the Yorkshire coast, and then of Glasgow before going on to places in Yorkshire: Bradford, Queensbury, Boothferry Bridge, Sewerby, Bridlington, Whitby, Beverley Minster and Hornsea.
(Colour) The film begins out at sea with a view of a low coast with a lighthouse next to some white buildings. Nearby there is a small red and green ship, and some high cliffs are shown. The film switches to show some swans, and there a busy main street with bunting going across it, with several cyclists riding past the camera. Then Glasgow Gallery can be seen in the background from the Clyde. Later, in the evening, there is a view down the Cathedral precinct near the statue of David Livingstone, of the statue of Sir Walter Scott. A green bus, route 22, drives past. The film shows a colourful hanging basket of flowers before going back to show a boat out at sea coming in to harbour.
B&W Children are on a pier and then cars are driving along a sea front road. There is then a view of a church steeple before showing a swimming pool with a pavilion in the background. A ferry arrives into a harbour, and people take donkey rides on the beach. On the other side of the harbour there are docks with lots of large cranes. There is also a large building with tall towers at either end. Children have donkey rides by the water, and another tall tower can be seen in the background.
Intertitle - Glasgow, Scotland
There is a city street with cars and a tram, and then the film shows the George Hotel and the bustling streets, with a large advertising hoarding for 'Wills Capstone Cigarettes'. Several barges are docked on a canal, and there is an old boat also docked, and a footbridge with neo-classical columns. The statue of Sir Walter Scott is seen closer up, and other landmarks are shown. Several boats are being filmed from a short way out to sea, passing along the coast where there is a small pier and lighthouse. Along the coast, there is a village with a church up on the hill. The film then shows a market place building before going up close to show the old church on the hill. Then the film moves onto some abbey, or monastic, ruins before returning to the coast with boats and a lighthouse. There is a brief view of a religious procession before going back to the coast.
