An unidentified location from the Indian subcontinent or Southeast Asia is of a bustling center with lots of foot traffic and several portrait shots of people/families. The Scottish segment has several notable sequences, including mechanized farming sequences, possibly of hay, a raspberry sales/weigh station, as well as shots of the countryside, lochs, and sheep. The Trossachs Hotel in Stirling was shot, as well as the Gairloch Hotel. Finally, more sequences from Sweden are included on this reel, including more footage from Stockholm and Gothenburg.
