Careering down the crisp slopes of Ben Lawers in woolly sweaters and bobble hats, Scotland’s pioneering skiers took their first wobbly snowplough towards what was often an epic face-plant. When the summer sun shone, a different kind of skier glided across the surface of Loch Earn, sometimes with impressive results, often not. On beaches, up hills, in outdoor swimming pools, at family weddings, royal visits and while familiar places and features of Scottish life were dismantled or built in the name of progress, amateur film-maker Harry Birrell was there to capture it. The result was hundreds of reels of film spanning seven decades which show life in a rapidly changing nation in all its familiar - and extraordinary - glory.
