Famous Scots in 2 Video Slideshows

 Famous Scots is a set of 2 videos I put together recently with a set of 50 cigarette trading cards I had in my possession from 1933. I was in the process of listing them for sale so took the time to scan and create 2 videos of 25 images each for YouTube.

The images feature poets, playwrights, inventors, politicians, royalty and much more. They can be seen below and on YouTube. please take a moment to subscribe to my channel.

and part 2,

The cards were released in packs of Mitchells Cigarettes which was a Scottish tobacco company based in Linlithgow, the company had merged with Imperial Tobacco by 1901 although the cards were released with Mitchells branding.

The Nation's Shrine's (1929)

 The nation's Shrines is a short video I recently uploaded to YouTube featuring a collection of 25 cigarette trading cards from a collection released in 1929 called the nation's Shrines. Each card is an image of an historic place from either England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and the complete set if featured in the video. They were released by Player's Cigarettes.

The images feature a number of abbey's, Cathedral's, Castle's and other places of interest in the United Kingdom. Sadly Kenilworth Castle is missing, the video software only aloud a brief glimpse of it between John Milton's cottage and Manorbier Castle. The pictures below are the ones that feature in the video. The break down of places represented is 17 sites from England, 3 from Wales and Ireland and 2 featured from Scotland. In this modern age i'm sure that split would be a bit more representative and certainly feature a few more sites of interest from the Celtic nations.
