- Scope and Content
- Unidentified individuals filming a scene in Port Glasgow. The individuals being filmed are dressed in period costume, likely reenacting the arrival of early Scottish pioneers in Elgin County for the film "The early Scots Pioneers of Lambton and West Middlesex", produced by the Petrolia St. Andrew's Society. The film was written by former MPP Ralph Ferguson and directed by David Rombout. It was released in 1998.
According to the video's catalogue record on WorldCat, the video examines the harsh conditions in Scotland after the battle of Culloden which led to the emigration of so many to Canada. It also re-enacts the hardships faced by the pioneers on the passage to, and after arrival in Canada.
