Scenes from the 'Clyde Fortnight'

Overview

This early sporting film captures several vessels at a regatta on the west coast of Scotland. Filmed by amateur cameraman Robert A Mitchell, originally a lawyer in County Down, this film is perhaps one of his early tests with his new camera, which he would later take with him on a trip to South Africa.
