0:00:11 > 0:00:15For over 100 years, the people of Scotland have been filming...
0:00:16 > 0:00:17..themselves.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Here we go. And there's me.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25There's my father.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Across generations, home movies have recorded the ordinary
0:00:31 > 0:00:33as well as the great moments of life.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42From our first steps...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..to our furthest travels.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Here's a shot here, coming up.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51The one on the left's Jessie.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52HE LAUGHS
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Very funny.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55We reminisce.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Today we take for granted the ability
0:00:59 > 0:01:03to record our lives on tiny digital cameras and mobile phones.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10But in this series, we look back to the golden age of home movies
0:01:10 > 0:01:15shot on cine film by our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Unearthed from attics and cupboards across the country,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25home movies from the 1920s to the 1980s
0:01:25 > 0:01:28tell an alternative, more intimate history of Scotland.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I haven't seen this film for years.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59In this episode, we look back to some of the
0:01:59 > 0:02:02very first examples of Scottish home movies.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09This is Glasgow's Great Western Road on a typical Sunday morning in 1914.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Whilst cinema itself was still in its infancy,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18the idea of making movies for yourself wasn't far behind.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21But early cine cameras were hand cranked, mechanical
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and cumbersome.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They were also expensive.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Too expensive for all but the most wealthy.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41The Isle of Arran belonged to my mother.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46She had this place and Easton Park in Suffolk.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But I only knew this one.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55This is Lady Jean Fforde and her father, the Duke of Montrose.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Her mother, Lady Mary, was a keen photographer
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and a pioneer home movie maker.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05She began recording family life around their home,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Brodick Castle, in the mid 1920s.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10That's me with long hair.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24This is our little boat called the Crewbin and we got pulled along.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28It was really too slow to try and do that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29It would capsize very easily.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Oh, I'm sure to go down there.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45We bathed from 30th May to 30th September every day.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Supposed to be good for us.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56These personal films are a rare glimpse into the lives
0:03:56 > 0:03:57of the privileged few.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Father and the Queen, I think. Aunt Nellie...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Ah, the Queen Mother. There you are.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And the King. You know, Albert.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And the King and Queen came up for a football match in Glasgow
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and stayed with us while they were there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23It is amazing to think that we all wore hats
0:04:23 > 0:04:26every time we went out in the garden. Isn't it amazing?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Highland dancing and Brodick Games.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Pillow fight, pillow fight.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Last one who stays upright is the winner.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Ah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And this is just a pony rally, pony club rally.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51There's father pushing me in the barrow.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54SHE LAUGHS
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Oops!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Not surprising I didn't like horse riding.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10No, I was not a rider.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Lady Jean was the youngest of four siblings by eight years.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19With her brothers and sisters away at boarding school,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23she spent much of her childhood alone or with her ageing nanny.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I couldn't go to school cos I'd had tuberculosis.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29That illness... That really put me back.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33One had to be in bed every evening at about nine o'clock.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38I'd had a governess, I did lessons outside if it was sunny.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I really very seldom had anyone to play with.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43So, it was lonely.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49One learned to occupy oneself, because Mother's great saying,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51if you said you were bored,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54was that, "Boredom is a sign of lack of intelligence."
0:05:55 > 0:06:00So, it didn't really take you very long to get something to do.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06# I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
0:06:09 > 0:06:14# Borne like a vapour on the summer air. #
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I was born 94 years ago, 1920.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'm glad to have seen the great British Empire.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35The greatest since the days of the Romans.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And we won't ever see the like again.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43# On the soft summer air. #
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The British Empire of Lady Jean's childhood was at its peak,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04ruling over one fifth of the world's population
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and almost a quarter of its landmass.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It was a great time to be part of the aristocracy.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Eager to leave behind the horrors of World War I,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Britain was embracing modernity in art and design,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20experimenting with technology
0:07:20 > 0:07:24and dancing to the new and exciting jazz music.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29But the vast majority of the country
0:07:29 > 0:07:31still didn't even have electric light.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35They certainly couldn't indulge in the expensive hobby
0:07:35 > 0:07:36of making home movies.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Unless, that was, they ran a camera shop.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Here we go.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47July 1926 and there's me.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54My father had a photographic shop at that time.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58It was the family business and he used cameras
0:07:58 > 0:08:00that there may have been a problem with them
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and he would take the cameras home,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06shoot some film on them, just to check whether they worked or not.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09And so that was where the early family film came from.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14That covered the early black-and-white stuff,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18which was taken in Mid Stocket Road in Aberdeen
0:08:18 > 0:08:20and I was just a nipper.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Alan's father's home movies give a rare insight
0:08:32 > 0:08:35into the life of an Aberdonian family in the '20s.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The fashions of the time were...
0:08:43 > 0:08:44something else.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Beehive hats for ladies and long dresses.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51White stockings.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I've got what looks like a little dress on which.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Hmm, let's say no more about that!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oh.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now there's my father. My goodness.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16And a silhouette of my mother.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18And a little pirouette in the road.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Hey-hey!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I wish I could remember more about...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25My memory is through the film.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But I certainly don't remember any of that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Ah, Bonzo the dog. Goodness gracious.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38He was a lovely dog.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Hey-ho, where'd that come from?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Things you remember.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58This is what a lot of the original film was shot with.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04This is a camera called the Cine-Kodak Special.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's quite heavy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13It was bought new and used by my dad's company.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I can't tell you how many thousand feet of film was shot
0:10:16 > 0:10:19in its lifetime and still runs like a clock.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22CAMERA WHIRS
0:10:22 > 0:10:25But this is a good old friend and I wouldn't part with it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26It's lovely.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36These early home movies are precious.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Not only is it a treasury of memories for Alan, but also as
0:10:39 > 0:10:44an unofficial history of Aberdeen in the 1920s and '30s.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Here's a shot now, for instance, looking down Camperdown Road.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50There is no Royal Infirmary, there's nothing.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's just open countryside at that time.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It just shows how the town has grown.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06When I was growing up, shopping was done once a week.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11You went to the grocer, you went to the fruiter
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and you went to the butcher and you placed your orders
0:11:14 > 0:11:17and they delivered to you by a boy on a bike.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The milkman came every morning.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24We used to have lemonade, Bon Accord lemonade.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Used to come round the houses and deliver lemonade.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29There were gas lamps.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31There was radio entertainment.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35There was radio, or wireless as it was in those days.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37We had Children's Hour with Uncle Mac.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Now we're at my grandfather's farm at New Deer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48There was no electricity, so battery radios were used
0:11:48 > 0:11:52and it was slowly becoming better technically and then,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55of course eventually, as far as the countryside was concerned,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59the hydro-board began bringing in electricity to farms and things.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Electricity, fertiliser and most significantly the tractor
0:12:21 > 0:12:24would eventually transform the way people lived and worked
0:12:24 > 0:12:25in the countryside.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33In 1916, before these changes had taken hold,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Thomas and Annie Henderson bought a large estate
0:12:35 > 0:12:38near Doune in Perthshire.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40They'd made a fortune from the tea trade in India
0:12:40 > 0:12:42and wanted to move into farming.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46These images were recorded by their son-in-law,
0:12:46 > 0:12:51David Charles Bowser, on his new 16 millimetre cine camera.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Without realising it, David was preserving on film
0:12:56 > 0:12:58a way of life that is now completely lost.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06David's grandson, Niall Bowser, still runs the estate today.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That was the estate hall down there
0:13:13 > 0:13:16and that's been sold and been done up as a house.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That's where they'd have the, the Christmas
0:13:19 > 0:13:22home movie parties in there.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Right, we're going off-road now folks, so hold on to your corsets.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48When my great-grandparents bought the house in 1916,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51they did a massive refurbishment.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52No expense spared.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55But then money wasn't an object, so why spare expense?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04It was a vast estate surrounding a large country mansion.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09This was Argaty House.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Looking back at the picture of the house
0:14:14 > 0:14:17does remind me that it was a massive house.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30When the lavish renovations were finally complete,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Niall's grandparents were welcomed home in style.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37# Bless this house
0:14:37 > 0:14:39# O Lord we pray
0:14:40 > 0:14:46# Make it safe by night and day. #
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Oh, there's a lovely shot of the estate workers towing
0:14:53 > 0:14:57grandparents in, when eventually Argaty House was ready for them.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Two little boys peering out.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08This will be Mr Barty, the factor,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12welcoming the family to the newly-refurbished house,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and there's grandfather.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23This is just the domestic staff greeting the family in.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27There's a huge number of people to make this family work.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34It works out something like three members of staff per family member,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38which is a ridiculous proportion.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43But I think it's good for people to be able to see that that's just
0:15:43 > 0:15:48the way things were in these big households, these big posh families.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00This is my grandmother, a fearsome woman with her gun under her arm.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11One in the policeman's uniform is my Uncle Hubert
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and on the right is my father.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It was a very rarefied existence here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23They probably didn't have to do an awful lot for themselves as children
0:16:23 > 0:16:28because there were nannies and nursery maids and housemaids
0:16:28 > 0:16:33and cooks and bottle washers and gardeners and grooms and chauffeurs.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Any idea they're going to have to work hard
0:16:36 > 0:16:40wasn't really on the agenda at that age, I suspect,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43but that's the way it was.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48And, to be fair, I saw a bit of that when I was growing up as well.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51We went off for our summer holidays to North Berwick.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56We went every year. We didn't go with parents. We went with Nanny.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58We just thought everyone did that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01So, yeah, things have changed a fair bit.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05The 1920s was a decade of great change.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Alongside huge developments in transport,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12industry and communication,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16the inter-war period saw seismic changes in social attitudes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24In 1928, after a long and sometimes violent campaign of suffrage,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28all women over the age of 21 were finally given the vote.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33This is St Andrews in the late 1920s
0:17:33 > 0:17:37and these are the films of Frances Hedges Montgomery,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39a remarkable woman who played her own part
0:17:39 > 0:17:41in the fight for women's rights.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There's my father.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Julia and Alistair are Frances's grandchildren.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Though we're using modern technology to project this particular film,
0:17:53 > 0:17:58we're really mimicking how we actually saw the films as children.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01My father would actually pin a sheet up against the window.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Yes, and it always took ages to get everything set up.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And we would put film like this onto it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10But, I mean, in those days, we didn't have a television and it was
0:18:10 > 0:18:13really quite a treat for Dad to get out all the apparatus
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and show us these old cine films.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It was a sort of special family occasion.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Like a lot of home movies from this period,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41the Montgomery films detail the life of a gentrified family.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46They're unusual, because Frances was a single mother
0:18:46 > 0:18:49with her own idea of how she wanted to live her life.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52My grandmother was quite a flamboyant,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55possibly impulsive person.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Is that her mother there?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Yes, that's her mother.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Who for some reason was known as Gag.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think sort of, as a child, Dad was, in a way,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24more brought up by Miss Smith, father's old nanny.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28I think she had provided the maternal side of mothering.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Yes, I think he regarded my grandmother as more a father figure.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Yeah, probably true, actually,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37what with all the shooting and riding to hounds and things.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Well, she rode with the Fife Hunt. - Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47A formidable lady and quite a big lady and very strong personality.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50We treated her with tremendous respect and deference
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and certainly didn't disagree with her or do anything naughty.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Oh, there we are.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00There's 'Vote Right Mrs Montgomery. Women's Rights.'
0:20:00 > 0:20:02And then there was another one.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04'Fan is my fancy. Vote for fan.'
0:20:05 > 0:20:08In 1930, with a strong suffragette vote,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Frances was elected the first female councillor of St Andrews.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It would have been really, really unusual to have women
0:20:17 > 0:20:20standing for the local council.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm sure she must have met with quite a bit of disapproval
0:20:23 > 0:20:25in various quarters.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It would certainly be unusual,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29certainly have raised eyebrows in Fife.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It certainly would have done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And I don't suppose my grandmother cared one bit.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39These films are an important record of the changing attitude to
0:20:39 > 0:20:43women's rights and the role Frances played in the fight for equality.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I don't remember Dad ever talking about it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48If it weren't for these films,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I don't think we'd really know about it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55She was quite ahead of her time, really.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Throughout the '20s and '30s,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15attempts were made to bring colour to motion pictures.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19This is a rare example of a complicated process
0:21:19 > 0:21:23called Dufaycolor which failed to catch on.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Then, in the mid-1930s,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Kodachrome was launched to instant and commercial success.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Whilst the majority of feature films
0:21:48 > 0:21:50were still being released in black and white,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53it was now possible for ordinary people
0:21:53 > 0:21:55to capture their world in colour.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02With the arrival of colour and cheaper more user-friendly cameras,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05the home movie market grew
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and the tradition was passed down through generations.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13In Perthshire, Niall Bowser's father took on the responsibility,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16for filming family life in the mid-1950s.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18That is me.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Aren't I gorgeous? Look at the hat.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23This is my Tri-ang tricycle,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and I was always deeply jealous of my big sister Emma,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29because she had one, a proper big tricycle.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I don't think I've seen this footage.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36This, of course, is father's efforts.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40We had a lovely, lovely, free, footloose childhood,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42you know, very, very privileged.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I can only describe it as blissfully happy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53My parents decided to sell Argaty House in 1982.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58There was no point in having a house that size for two ageing people.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09In recent times, Niall's films have become even more poignant.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16That is a sad sight, those beautiful wrought iron gates
0:23:16 > 0:23:21all covered with demolition site signs and danger keep out,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24ruined buildings and all the rest of it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's like looking at a ghastly ghost. Ghoulish.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It's a face with no eyes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41That's what it feels like to me
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and always has done since the day it burnt out.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's a sort of...lifeless corpse.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04It burnt down the day of William and Kate's wedding.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08It was an electrical fault and we could hear the noise of the fire
0:24:08 > 0:24:10from up at the farm where we live.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It was terrifying.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Fortunately, nobody was in the house at the time,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19but that's what happened.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Just gutted.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25And I was gutted too, because all these things that I'd seen and known
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and loved as a child, you know,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30the flames were tearing out through the windows.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48I think that both grandfather and father made these films,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51because they wanted to record things
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and it was also the new trendy thing to do for my grandfather.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I suspect he wouldn't have realised
0:24:58 > 0:25:03that he was recording future history, but thank goodness he did.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05What a result.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Like Niall, Lady Jean was the last of her family
0:25:12 > 0:25:14to live in the ancestral home.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19The National Trust now owns Brodick Castle.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Have a look at this one...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25..which we haven't seen yet.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29We'll put it on the machine next door here and then you can see it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32When her mother died,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Lady Jean carried on the tradition of making home movies.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38She began to record her own family life, and one of her
0:25:38 > 0:25:42favourite subjects was a little red deer calf called Cha-Cha.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45We took this one home
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and I had it in the house here
0:25:47 > 0:25:50and she lived in the house.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Watching television.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Looks like cricket, does it?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Oh!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14There's Charles, my son, my one and only.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I haven't seen this film for years.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Lady Jean's films and those of her mother
0:26:31 > 0:26:34are a precious record of a different age.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I've tried to preserve them.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I'm afraid I did destroy a lot.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45I never thought they'd be sort of particular interest.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46And I did put away...
0:26:46 > 0:26:50There were so many of them, great boxes full,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and I did destroy some of them...
0:26:53 > 0:26:55which is a pity.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00# Some of these days You'll miss me, honey
0:27:01 > 0:27:05# Some of these days You'll be so lonely. #
0:27:07 > 0:27:11These home movies paint a picture of life in the 1920s and '30s.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14They capture intimate details,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18filling in gaps missed by the commercial films of the time.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Most of all, they connect us to the behaviours, fashions
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and personalities of our ancestors.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30I think next generations are going to be very sad that they've
0:27:30 > 0:27:35put everything on their computer or one of these telephones, and
0:27:35 > 0:27:38they don't develop them, they don't have an album, they don't keep them.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41There's going to be nothing left.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You know the sort of flat telephones that you have nowadays,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47you've probably got one, and you just take snap, snap, snap,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50but do you bother to off-load them? No.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54So therefore you just, you know,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58your grandchildren are going to say, "I wonder what he was like."
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Next time on Scotland's Home Movies...
0:28:07 > 0:28:09This is one I would like you to see.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12HE CHUCKLES
0:28:12 > 0:28:14..after the trauma of World War II,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17home movie making really takes off...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Oh, there's me!- There you are.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23..capturing the austerity of the 1940s
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and the prosperity of the 1950s.
