GLENDEVON

By way of a little introduction, here is a small part of a film my Grandad made in the summer of 1947. Age 27, he was holidaying with his parents in their small hut in Glendevon, Scotland, and decided to make a film of their time there. He spotted a beautiful local girl and asked her mother's permission to have her in his film.

This is a small snippet, with both my Grandma and Grandad in the summer they met.











Summer 2010, Grandad died. We took his ashes to Glendevon, now a very special place for our whole family.

I saw my Grandma cry for the first time

Please do not reproduce the film, or music. Thank you.
Piano music played by Evan Lynn He played beautifully, but was suffering from severe dementia when this was recorded. Recorded and edited by Simon Hynd.
