Residents of Dalkeith from 1926 were filmed awaiting the annual Gala parade in footage which has been unearthed online.
The video, held by the National Library of Scotland, tracks the crowds as they await the parade in the street before we see fancy dress floats and the open-air park. We also see the exterior of the Picture Palace, a converted church that served as a cinema for a period.
With a sea of ‘20s caps, well-dressed folks and babies in old-fashioned bonnets - the footage truly captures the style of the time.
