This is an Academy Award nominee for Live Action Short. There will be spoilers ahead:

This short is basically part travelogue, part history less as it talks about the landscape and culture of Scotland along with touching on some of the history of the country and its connections to England and the royal monarchs.

Narrated by a man with a notable Scottish brogue, it goes here and the, waxing poetically about cattle, the highlands, the fact that King George (presumably the VIth, though that isn't specified) would come each year, the games, Scottish history and whatever else came into the minds of the scriptwriter. Robert the Bruce, Mary and the game of golf and St. Andrews are mentioned with appropriate degrees of awe.

It's actually rather interesting viewing for a short more than 60 years old at this point. It can be found online and is worth looking for if the subject is of interest to you.
