A woman displays various tartan handkerchiefs.

Show full synopsis

This was one of the first two-strip colour British films, made as a showcase for G.A. Smith's Kinemacolor process. A woman displays assorted tartan cloths, both draped on her body and waved semaphore-style. These are presumably the same cloths featured in Tartans of Scottish Clans (1906), this time shown from various angles.
