Yesterday's Britain: Highlands

Directed by John Taylor, Ian Ferguson, Michael Orrom

Three short films from the Fifties, offering an insight into day to day life amongst the beautiful scenery of the Scottish Highlands. 'Heart Is Highland' (1951) calls in on the local gamekeeper, nurse, newspaper editor and bus driver as it tours from Inverness to Kinloch Rannoch. 'Wild Highlands' (1959) discovers the wildlife populating the Ardnamurchan peninsula on the Argyll coast, and 'Highland Journey' (1957) journeys by coach and steam train from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye.
