www.wcptv.biz Title of Video: North Berwick Highland Games 2005: Scottish Music, Scottish Highland Dancing & Scottish Caber Toss This is one of the earliest videos I made in 2005 where I had yet to use the exposure properly as you can see. I kept this upload really to serve as an experiment while I attended the North Berwick Highland Games, one of the Highland Games in Scotland. Produced by Alan Taylor Format: Mpeg2 Sony Cybershot P73 Length: 7:09 The North Berwick Highland Games have taken place for 16 years with the first being held in 1996, attended by 4000 people from North Berwick and the surrounding towns in East Lothian.

I’ve yet to do one in HD or Standard definition for that matter, hopefully things will change too. The Mini shows are free to view and are an excellent addition to the main performance of the Tattoo at the castle every night of the Festival during August. An average of 217000 visit the tattoo on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle each year. For the last decade, it has sold out in advance where 30% of the audience is made up from spectators from Scotland, 35% from the rest of the United Kingdom. The rest are from overseas. The current stands were first used in 1975 and have a capacity of 8 ½ thousand spectators. This year in 2011, new stands worth 16 million pounds will replace these aging stands which will allow some extra comfort for this world renowned event. The Tattoo is performed every day of the week and

www.1989adventures.com Edinburgh used to host an annual Easter Festival which for the past few years has ceased to exist due to a lack of funding from the council and poor income revenue although the annual easter play still runs which takes place in Princes Street Gardens. I took this video during the last festival which ever took place, unknown to me at the time. I went around filming bits and bobs using my still camera and put together a montage of the day of events to share with you.

Free Hugs Scotland

GiR2007 asked:


We take the Free Hugs campaign all around Scotland. After discovering a version of the Free Hugs video that some people did in my local city, I thought it might be fun to take it all over Scotland. I filmed the guys in Aberdeen and we went on a long day trip to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. We witnessed exactly what Juan Mann experienced, the police asked us to leave but the public stood there and defended us. The music was written especially for the video by me, James Provan (GiR2007 …
