Description |
Friends and family smoking and drinking at the Hogmanay party with many wearing party hats then couples doing the 'St Andrews Dance'. A ferry boat journey to Bute and Dunoon in Scotland with passengers feeding seagulls. A waterfall, pub exteriors and Robert Burns' birthplace with shots of its interiors and gardens. A Burns' Night party with the piping in of the haggis, speeches being made and the awarding of a medal. A group of men sat at tables drinking and smoking is followed by a coach trip to Burns' country with stops at Gretna Green, Sweetheart Abbey and Rockcliffe gardens. On the annual outing in 1964 we see a meal in a hotel followed by a visit to the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey. |
