Highlights of 'Scottish Week' 1972 captured on cine film begins with Highlands Games being opened by Scottish singing duo, the Alexander Brothers. The pair escorted that year's 'Buchan Queen', Heather Will, along with the two Buchan Princesses, Lorraine Costello and Helen Stewart. Whilst there was no official 'Crowning Ceremony' on the steps of Arbuthnot House that year (other than the initial acknowledgement crowning after the Buchan Queen dance), the week opened with an Exhibition in the Rescue Hall following the recent discovery of oil in the North Sea. The footage also features the Golden Lions parachute display team, the carnival parade and more. Film courtesy of the Costello Family.
