Has no body noticed just how perfect the film is. Who ever digitised this film did an amazing job.. Colourised it (I presume), removed all the noise and fleck and synchronised the frames.. really impressive conversion... oh and the creek thingy is nice too.... LOL
If you ignore the mountains in the background (!) it could remind one of the upper reaches of the Thames where there are islands in the middle ("eyots") with houseboats moored alongside. In 1926 I suspect they were not as many houseboats as now. I agree it is a bit of a stretch tho...
this is great to see - i work at Loch Lomond marina in balloch and its amazing how the boats have changed. seeing the river leven there with the boats moored on monkey island and how pretty it looks....wonderful footage.
