This film from 1971 shows Laura Malcolmson taking a visitor from South on a tour of the islands. Here we see a great great snapshot of Lerwick Town Centre, including views of buildings along the Esplanade, boats of various sizes berthed at Victoria Pier, and a vintage coach parked up along the street.
