If it warna' fa the weavers, wha' would we do? - moved to Tartans & Heraldry

This is historic, so I hope this is the right... ah... "thread"!

Video of weavers 1926:

There's also some 1901 film of Jamaica Street in Glasgow (which, if you're a music lover, you'll remember was the site of "Jock's Adventures"). Though that most certainly should be in "Off Topic"!

Enjoy!

Jim aka kiltiemon

Thanks for posting Jim. The unstable colours give a real period feel to the clip. Noticed two things - 1st, no kilts and 2nd, didn't see any tartan till the last few seconds. Maybe it all went for export.

Regards

Chas
