Aye, as long as you weren't Black, gay, an unmarried woman with children - or even just a woman! Try opening a bank account in 1961 without your husband's consent - or getting a job that paid the same as a man for the same work and didn't expect you to quit and stay at home and look after the kids when you got married.

@@TransportNostalgia If you like bland unimaginative stodge then fine, British food in the 1960s was the best in the world. But heaven help you if you tried to find anything even slightly 'exotic'. British prejudice against 'that foreign muck' - meant it was damn near impossible to find many of the things we take for granted on our supermarket shelves today. Yoghurt was unknown - outside the fringe world of 'health nut', things like olives, garlic and salami were impossible to buy outside of specialist delicatessens. Pasta came in two types: macaroni and spaghetti. No one knew what an aubergine was... etc. I remember back in the mid-seventies my mother making hummus (when she could find the ingredients) as a special dinner party treat! As for junk food - chips with everything.

Wonderfully nostalgic. My first real family holiday was to Scotland (Loch Earn) in 1961 - I was 7 years old. I can remember Edinburgh bathed in afternoon sunshine, and the Ferry trip across the Forth (no road bridge at that time). Some great footage of Whitley Bay at the end.

@@kelvinheron3425 Thank you. Didn't realise that Whitley Bay was in the film. I think the film maker was from the Nottingham area. I have other similar films from other par s of the UK.
In 1961, my Bristolian Dad, took his big American four door Ford Sedan to a dealer in Houston, north of where we lived in Galveston, Texas, and traded it for a new English Ford Anglia, like the one in this video. He wanted an MG or Triumph, sports car, but with three kids, a wife and a dog, the Anglia made sense. We named it Dinky after my Dinky cars collection. It was his sports car. My uncles all had Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets. They called it the sardine can. We definitely stood out among the huge 1960’s American cars in Texas.😎👍
Wonderful nostalgia. That little kid dancing on the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens. In the summer holidays, the kids in our street would be given the bus fare and sixpence for sweeties to go "up the town". There would be morning shows for children. Strange, I can never remember it raining!
Great to see. I was a schoolgirl in California in 1961. Always wanted to see Scotland and finally I did and I lived there off and on for a few years. Fascinating for me to see it when it was just a dream of mine. Thank you
@@pokeyjeanne Thank you for watching. I always wanted to visit California when I was in the Merchant Navy, but sadly it never happened. I love Scotland though and have had a few holidays there in recent years.

A great nostalgic journey back to the city of my birth! I left Edinburgh with my parents in April 1961, bound for a life in Australia. I have never been able to get back. I enjoyed the section 4:30-5:00 - I loved the old ferries with a turntable for turning larger vehicles. I can remember the old trams from the 1950’s which ran along Princes Street.

@@georgegraham3342 Thank you. Have visited Melbourne twice during my time in the Merchant Navy. First trip in 1974 and my last deep sea trip in 1987. Saw Eric Clapton in 1987.
Goodness! Near the end before the motorway shots, there is St Mary's Island lighthouse in the background with all the cars parked on the top, then a shot the other way along Whitley Bay beach (North East Coast, England) and the dome ballroom (and Spanish City of Dire Straits fame....Tunnel of Love) in the distance. However, what memories of my father's Ford Anglia. A superb car at the time.

Wonderful post. I was born in October of that year. It's fair to say there have been many changes, some for the better, some not, since then. Thank you for sharing.
hang on, am I seeing things, isnt that St. Marys lighthouse and Spanish City towards the end of the film clips? Lovely to see those old places and wonderful cars, I was only 5 in 1961. Thankyou for sharing and reminding me of what a beautiful country we live in.
It was a different time with a different point of view. We were a proud people, a time when we respected others and each other. They were tough times for working people but everyone was proud of what we had and achieved as a nation. The public services worked and we all worked hard and made our towns , cities and homes nice places. People scrubbed there steps, cut the lawn short and weeded the flower beds. The government and council had money because we made do much here so there was a revenue stream . The 70s 80s where when it all started to go downhill. The 90s it all started to change, then mass immigration, globalisation and the end of manufacturing has laid waste to it all. Now people are just victims blaming all there woes on others.
My first car was a Ford Anglia, two tone with a white roof and light blue bodywork. I believe it was a '65 model, bought it in 1974. Super reliable car, put on many miles driving around the UK. I can remember being a passenger in the 1960's so this video really was a blast from the past for me. Great video.
Great video that brought back some wonderful childhood memories. Particularly the Forth Rail Bridge views as I recall traveling on the ferry around 1961, when aged around 8yo, during a family trip to Fife from London in a Standard 10 visiting grandparents in Cowdenbeath. Thanks for your excellent work.
@TransportNostalgia Now, that would be interesting. My father was posted to Singapore in early 1962 and the 1961 visit was a final trip to see grandparents. We then returned in 1965 and stayed in Cowdenbeath for a few months before relocating elsewhere in Scotland. It was then that I saw the stock car racing at Central Park. Quite an experience as a 12yo. Look forward to your future videos.
@@David_H-73 Thank you for watching, and that it "moved you". Don't shed more tears because I have a huge collection of cine films which will eventually be put on RUclips.

@@dieseldavetrains8988 Thank you Dave. Yes, it is very similar, but I originally uploaded with my own background music, but wasn't happy with it. Really wanted Scottish themed music. Found what I was looking for and so much better. The Ford Anglia put in some miles on that trip.
@@TransportNostalgia My cousin Robert had a Ford Anglia in the early 1970's, nice little car but not good with four large adults in it and a big hill to climb...
@@dieseldavetrains8988 My folks had an Anglia Super in two tone paint, white body and a dark blue roof and stripe along the side. I think it was a 1200cc. First holiday I remember was taking it to the Isle of Man and it being hoisted up and into the hold of the Manxman steamer at Liverpool docks.
@@dieseldavetrains8988 Dave I used to have a 4 door Austin A30 which my dad bought me for my 21st birthday. It went very well. Lasted me all through college at Grimsby before I went to sea.
Bet some of those Morris Minors are still on the road! Lovely film- quite nostalgic - we holidayed in Scotland every year for about 10 years from the mid 60’s, my father driving from Kent in a series of fairly unreliable cars😂 the Triumph Herald was particularly temperamental. Like this film- I remember it as always sunny🌞
Lots of old Minors around but they cost 20 to 40k. I had two in 1980 and gave them to a mechanic in Hackney who specialised in minors refurbs. I thought why bother mate...now I know. They are goldust.😊😊😊
I would have been four years old when this was filmed. My grandparents lived in Edinburgh and my paternal grandmother's family were from the Black Isle, I remember travelling up there to visit them. The maroon buses on Princes Street, travelled on them a few times when I was young. The film was amazing and brought back some wonderful memories.
Thanks for sharing, my parents took my sister and I all around Scotland almost every summer for years in an Austin A35 van (with windows on the rear sides installed by my father). I recognise several places in this RUclips video.
Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. I have a big box of cine film that my grandfather took in the 60s. Sadly I have no projector to play it on, and have no idea what to do with it. But I don’t want to throw it out! It should really be uploaded so that everyone can enjoy it.
Thanks for that - I have loads more! Send me an email (check for it on the "about page") regarding your box of films. PS - do not throw away your cine films!
In 1961 and at the age of 15, I cycled with a pal from Manchester to Scotland, up the West side and down the East, covering 1,200 miles in three weeks with a budget of 9 pounds each. Beer was one shilling and three pence a pint (six new pence) and we enjoyed a pint each on alternate days I wondered if the footage might feature two cyclists, but no. In 1961 when we crossed the Forth on the ferry, the concrete towers for the road bridge were complete but do not appear here so I wonder about the date? Johnny Wright and I are both now 78 and keep in touch. We both live in the Philippines now.
@@MrConan89 How wonderful. Both my brothers did long cycle rides in the 1960s. Return trips Lincolnshire to Anglesey and Lake District. But certainly not as long as your trip. Your trip sounds great, and you did very well in a relatively short time.
I bet the people in those films would say this t was better in the twenties. It’s a belief that’s as old as civilisation that things were better in the past. It’s also a RUclips cliche that films like this are full of comments saying how much better it was then, in thirty years there will be people saying that about the 2020s.

@@tatata1543here’s one for you! Things that go on in my head let’s say you could open a door and bang your back in 1961 on that day in Edinburgh you have a couple of hundred old money in your wallet and hire a car ! Spend a week touring Scotland staying in hotels no credit card needed! How strange would it seem living that week in the past, and when you get back you have only been gone 7 minutes! Would one keep returning to that day in 1961 and living two lives then and now but then one time something goes wrong and you can’t get back and you will never live long enough to get back to the present.
That didn't, unfortunately, apply to me. I bought my first cine camera in 1980 and it was second hand. Replaced it couple of years later with a much smaller one.
Loch Katrine makes an appearance at 1 :46. I was there just two days ago, it’s not changed much other than the car park surface being a great deal more shabby.
Ah, marvellous footage....... One minute from the end, the film shows a road sign of 'Newark 40, Nottingham 50' which I go past frequently on the A1 heading south. Fairly sure that that same road sign is still there today..... [unless the film is on the new M1 somewhere in south Yorkshire?].
Takes me back to when i was young my pal had asked his gran could i go with them to lloch lomond an auld estate car me and micheal sat in the back looking out the window walking up the hills and i fellin to the water great times while my ma sat waiting oot the window as i came home loved it.
I'd have been 4 that December and we'd no car or holidays as no money for such luxuries growing up ..... Still thoroughly enjoyed it and agree it was in many ways a better time.... People mention the folk being dressed i remember growing up that was the way it was in the 60s and 70s, even going into the town centre for messages on a Saturday the ladies would wear a skirt or a dress the men would have maybe a suit but more often a pair of trousers and a jacket and even us kids would be dressed in decent clothes ..
My parents, both now in heaven took me on holiday to Scotland in 1975 So this cine film is much earlier However the places you mention apart from Edinburgh we visited and stayed at lots of B&B’s around during the holiday I remember the midges and neeps and tatties and haggis My mother had learnt to drive in 1974 when I was 9 So she drove in my dad’s company car at that time My dad could drive about 1 years later Callander is famous for being the filming location for TV series Dr Finlay’s Casebook aired ? Don’t know We stayed in the house as it was a B&B On our travels during the day you got water from the streams so clean 🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
@@kneolith The original Cine Film used titles describing the locations. Forth Bridge was one of them. I followed on from the originator, but take your point.
Visual proof that times were better then. So no Rose tinted spectacles. I recommend watching again at half speed, surprising how much more one can see.
@@TransportNostalgia haha! At least I wouldn’t have any discussions anymore with my children about mini tops en clothing which you cannot call clothing.

Wonderful video, thank you. Notice the lack of signage around! It seems that people in the sixties didn’t need to be instructed or ordered about so much, our country is ugly with signs now.
I wonder if that's a hangover from the War? A lot of signs were taken down during the War. Maybe it took a long time to replace them. A lot of these small towns were still busy and prosperous because they weren't bypassed as well. Then again, could they cope with the noise and pollution from the sheer amount of traffic we have today, when the car is king? No litter either, unlike today😢
The real stand out here for me is how much Scotland looks the same. All I noticed was that Edinburgh was black with the smoke from coal fires. There are more modern buildings but the majority of Princes Street is the same. I'm not sure which roads were travelled in the highlands but I am fairly sure those are better built now. Other than that I recognised places very easily.
I remember it so well as a six year old who lived in Scotland... and with the benefit of hindsight I can remember just how boring it all was. Everything shut on a Sunday, Pacamacs and egg sandwiches in the rain, colourless people in colourless clothes leading colourless lives, all the style of a cold half-eaten haggis. Thank God the Beatles came along.

He wanted an MG or Triumph, sports car, but with three kids, a wife and a dog, the Anglia made sense. We named it Dinky after my Dinky cars collection. It was his sports car. My uncles all had Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets. They called it the sardine can. We definitely stood out among the huge 1960’s American cars in Texas.😎👍
@@billfish5913 Wonderful story. Thanks for watching
Wonderful nostalgia. That little kid dancing on the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens. In the summer holidays, the kids in our street would be given the bus fare and sixpence for sweeties to go "up the town". There would be morning shows for children. Strange, I can never remember it raining!

Great to see. I was a schoolgirl in California in 1961. Always wanted to see Scotland and finally I did and I lived there off and on for a few years. Fascinating for me to see it when it was just a dream of mine. Thank you

This brought back many memory's when my cousin and I were taken on holiday in a camper van in the early 60's
I bet that was an exciting holiday!
It was a different time with a different point of view. We were a proud people, a time when we respected others and each other. They were tough times for working people but everyone was proud of what we had and achieved as a nation. The public services worked and we all worked hard and made our towns , cities and homes nice places. People scrubbed there steps, cut the lawn short and weeded the flower beds. The government and council had money because we made do much here so there was a revenue stream . The 70s 80s where when it all started to go downhill. The 90s it all started to change, then mass immigration, globalisation and the end of manufacturing has laid waste to it all. Now people are just victims blaming all there woes on others.
@@PeterMorrow-x3c Excellent description of how it was/is now.
My first car was a Ford Anglia, two tone with a white roof and light blue bodywork. I believe it was a '65 model, bought it in 1974. Super reliable car, put on many miles driving around the UK. I can remember being a passenger in the 1960's so this video really was a blast from the past for me. Great video.

Thanks for your excellent work.
@@dabhand6796 Thank you for watching. I have other films taken in Scotland including a stock car meeting at Cowdenbeath
@TransportNostalgia Now, that would be interesting. My father was posted to Singapore in early 1962 and the 1961 visit was a final trip to see grandparents. We then returned in 1965 and stayed in Cowdenbeath for a few months before relocating elsewhere in Scotland. It was then that I saw the stock car racing at Central Park. Quite an experience as a 12yo. Look forward to your future videos.

In 1961 and at the age of 15, I cycled with a pal from Manchester to Scotland, up the West side and down the East, covering 1,200 miles in three weeks with a budget of 9 pounds each. Beer was one shilling and three pence a pint (six new pence) and we enjoyed a pint each on alternate days I wondered if the footage might feature two cyclists, but no. In 1961 when we crossed the Forth on the ferry, the concrete towers for the road bridge were complete but do not appear here so I wonder about the date? Johnny Wright and I are both now 78 and keep in touch. We both live in the Philippines now.
@@MrConan89 How wonderful. Both my brothers did long cycle rides in the 1960s. Return trips Lincolnshire to Anglesey and Lake District. But certainly not as long as your trip. Your trip sounds great, and you did very well in a relatively short time.
I remember doing that trip on our way up north Queensferry was packed nose to tail with cars waiting to get on the ferry
@@ianmuir3640 I can imagine. Similar to using the Ferry to get across the Humber from North Lincolnshire to Hull. Better views in Scotland though!

I bet the people in those films would say this t was better in the twenties. It’s a belief that’s as old as civilisation that things were better in the past.

No litter either, unlike today😢
The real stand out here for me is how much Scotland looks the same. All I noticed was that Edinburgh was black with the smoke from coal fires. There are more modern buildings but the majority of Princes Street is the same. I'm not sure which roads were travelled in the highlands but I am fairly sure those are better built now.
