While 99.999% (or is it 99.999%? ) of the stuff uploaded to YouTube should earn the creators a place at the head of the queue to be "First against the wall..." there remain the gems hidden away there that make it all worthwhile, or at least not blowing up the servers (today, at least )

There would be little chance of anyone seeing the following without the TV series that features Friese-Greene recently, or without YouTube:

Ferry at Ballachulish, Scotland (1926)
Prior to building of the bridge the ferry was the only way to cross Loch Leven. This scene shows the ferry going from North to South rather than south to north (the direction fo the journey), presumably to show a view of the hotel in the distance. This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' - originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally restored.



In an odd coincidence, there is further footage to be found from the same source, this time from some standard 8 shot around 1962...
