Motoring thru Scotland in 1958
An American couple has arrived by cruiseship from USA. They rented a car and drove from London to Edinburgh and then headed for Inveraray. Viewer Ian Robertson reports: “The Film starts with scenes shot from Calton hill at the east end of Princes st in Edinburgh and is followed by footage from within a car travelling west wards along Princes st. The Forth Ferries stopped when the road bridge was opened in 1964.;@1.24, Ferry from South Queensferry over the Forth; @ 1.42 Atholl Palace hotel, Pitlochry ( The bar doesn’t look that different today );@2.55, Loch Ness; @ 3.04, Castle Urquhart and Loch Ness; @ 3.56 Ballachulish Ferry (since replaced by a bridge); @ 4.11, Castle Stalker, near Port Appin Loch Linnhe.” Second part of their 8mm film record.
