Scottish Highlands - travelogue. Travelling shot from a moving car on the “road to the isles“ - the road that leads to the Isle of Skye and the other islands of the Hebrides. Lovely scenery on either side. C/U of a signpost which reads: “The National Trust for Scotland - Killiecrankie“. High angle shot of a river then another high angle of a man walking beside a loch. Narrator quotes from a song “For by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go“ over a view of the river Tummel and its “great lake“. L/S and M/S of a cottage where King Robert the Bruce rested on the night after the battle of Methvin. L/S of a woman sitting outside the cottage operating a spinning wheel. M/S of the woman as she works at the wheel. C/U of her face as she concentrates on her work. C/U of the wheel in operation. High angle shot of hikers walking beside Loch Faskally. Narrator recounts how this is an Angler’s Paradise thanks to the progressive trout stocking and the presence of some 5,000 salmon every year. T
