Films of Scotland - Holidays

Greg Hemphill takes a sideways look at some remarkable documentary films. Between 1938 and 1982 over a hundred and fifty films were made to sell Scotland to the world and tell Scots themselves about their own country. The films presented in this edition show off Scotland as a holiday destination - bus tripping through the Highlands, getting a Mediterranean tan on the beaches of North Berwick and honeymooning in Aberdeen. Alex Norton remembers his first film role in Travelpass, and cameramen and curlers talk about The Grand Match, the last huge curling championship on the Lake of Menteith in 1979.
