Examples of material they hold are

There is a lot more from various places in Scotland including the unveiling of War Memorials. I don't know anything about the organisation but thought if anybody was in some Heritage Organisation they could maybe use one of the films. |

I have had a video tape made up by this organisation in the past.
There is plenty of excellent footage in their archives though I think that it is best if you visit them in person rather than try to organise your collection via e-mail and the web. _________________
