Living in Scotland = The Smiths in Scotland | Laurence Henson | ACMI collection

A presentation of the virtues of Scotland and its people. Roots and tradition are still important but change and development is offering new skills and resources to the world. Covers Scotland’s countryside, cities, universities, industries and its sporting opportunities, especially water sports as no part of Scotland is more than 50 miles from the water. Narrated by Bryden Murdoch.
