| Description: | "PAGEANT OF GALLOWAY - Brilliant scenes recall historical past of Newton-Stewart." Galloway, Scotland. Several idyllic shots of a bridge, little waterfall and procession in period costumes riding on horseback along a path through the woods. A lively court gesture jumps around leading the procession. They are the "ghosts" of Scottish heroes, such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, "and a host of others." They are dressed in the attire of the Middle Ages. Procession rides to attend the coronation of Queen of the Province, Miss Dorothy Winkher (sp?). Several shots of the Coronation ceremony. Queen is seated on her throne and crowned by the Countess of Galloway. Young Queen is seen laying a wreath on a war memorial. Several shots of the parade of the pageant characters in period costumes. | |
