We start with the arrival of the RMV Scillonian at St Mary's, the largest island in the archipelago. Views of quaint cottages and quiet streets in the town are followed by a tour of the island’s peaceful beaches. At Hugh Town quay we see holidaymakers board a small boat for a trip around the islands. A woman poses for the camera and a man splashes about in a rockpool. On a different day we see puffins on the water as well as more views of the islands. A glorious sunset ends the film.
