The road through Glen Coe seems to have become a bit more busy.

@ definetly …perhaps possibly orkney but in reality what the producers think wee all sound like as we know they think we all speak either with that accent or the standard Glaswegian accent

That's because it's Duncan Macrae doing the narration

Those old telegraph poles must have been blowing over a lot in the winter.

I don’t think so, they were often six to ten feet below ground level, why because they understood that if they didn’t, it was a problem for the community. Old ways were solid, they cared for the community.

All the passengers were probably teachers on holiday as they had more weeks holiday than anyone else.

This can't have been made in 1957. The coach at 3:10 pulls out of a side road in Edinburgh. The trams in the main street stopped running on 16th November 1956. The trees are in full leaf so the latest it could have been filmed was the summer of 1956.

Well spotted, lesson learned, shouldn't try to work on more than one vid at a time :) It was actually 1953. Thanks for pointing this out.

Well observed, but bits of the film may have been shot in different time periods, its just the whole film was set in 1953.

Hi a lovely film but to me when you show the bus in killin it looks as if it is approaching from the north
@johnmehaffey995316 күн бұрын
Oh look a tram I do hope they kept them, what do you mean they decided to bin them all and then cost the ratepayers and taxpayers millions to reinstate everything but only on certain routes, only an idiot or someone getting money would even think about this, sorry I was back in my childhood when everything was simple and worked, why can’t we have these idyllic times again without nanny state getting involved, on a very positive note those great engineers and naviies who constructed the west highland railway true heroes
@angusaddison392614 күн бұрын
The navies have gone, but I’m sure the north Africans and the Middle Eastern people can turn it to dust 😮
