Video on Scotland including 21st Kilts on Swiss Television

Do you understand German or better Swiss German then I can recommend this video from the Swiss Television. And even if you don't, you might just enjoy it. 42 minutes.

That link gave me a 404. The actual wording on the 404 fail page I could not read.

Go to http://videoportal.sf.tv and search for "kilt". Two programs are returned, one of which I suspect is the one Greg refers to.

Regards,
Rex.

A wonderful film.Thanks for the link. Being half Swiss and half British Isles helps by the way.

Well I turned the sound off, but I think that the film gave a very good overview of the part of Scotland that is home ground to me. The fishing pictures made me cringe! I did enjoy seeing that very pretty young lady getting kitted out with her new skirt at the end and she looked wonderful in it.

There are many other large parts of Scotland that were inevitably not covered in the film,which is a shame, but quite understandable. It is a pity that the beautiful border country and the stunning highlands much further North of the Great Glen did not get shown. All in all a good taster for those wishing to visit here.
