I latched on to these because of the snippets of the athletics that are in there, but I thought that the X Marks rabble would be interested. These are old BBC films from the archives....Braemar Gathering in 1954 (dumping down rain!) and 1959.

1934!

I suspect that the astute observers among us, who want to learn more about traditional garb may pick up some interesting details, here. I was VERY interested to see the hammer thrower in the 1934 video wearing argyll hose. I'm ALSO interested to see how he throws hammer, which is very, very different from how we throw it now.

That is a **great** site if you are interested in old BBC broadcasts and films.
