Old House (1938)

Galloway, Scotland. Nice shot of an old country cottage decorated with symbolic crosses. Several close up shots of some of the crosses - most of them read ’Memento Mori’ - Remember Death. Voiceover says that most of them were brought by local mason from the ruins of Dundrennan Abbey nearby - they must have been gravestones. Several shots of the ruins of the abbey - walls are still there, although ruined, but there is no roof. Cut back to the strange house. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
