Description

A Scottish band can be seen performing outside the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Followed by shots of golfers playing on the golf course. Sightseeing around St Andrews includes shots of St Andrews Cathedral, the old archway and the old harbour. The film cuts to Hesketh Park in Southport where people can be seen walking around the park. We see a man feeding a peacock followed by shots of the ducks and geese by the pond. Back at home, the family spend time together in the garden and play with the dogs. At the Southport flower show, crowds gather to see the various exhibitions.
