Made to commemorate the 50th Jubilee of the Ladies' Scottish climbing Club, the film shows a reconstruction of women climbers from 1908 dressed in Edwardian climbing gear. It features three members of the club climbing on The Campsie Fells (Jenny's Lum Buttress). The women leave the skirts and jackets at the base of the rock face and climb in pants equipped with hemp ropes and nailed boots. While descending the hills, they stop to have a rest and fall asleep. When they wake up, it's 1958. They meet two women in shorts and we can appreciate the contrasting styles in the way of dressing.

A black and white silent movie taken by Ben H Humble in 1946. It features John 'Jock' Nimlin, Harry Grant and David Easson climbing some of the peaks of The Cobbler. This film is in part an instructional account of the climbing techniques used. This film was awarded principal prize by Mr. Michael Powell in the 1948 Scottish Amateur Festival as depicted in the titles. The titles also advise the viewer that nothing in this film is faked!
