A poetic evocation of Edinburgh drawn from the thoughts and songs of Robert Louis Stevenson

R L Stevenson's fond memories of his birth place are the inspiration for this award-winning experimental film made by teachers at a local Edinburgh school. Like the city shrouded in a "white wet vapour off the sea", the film's imagery of kirk-stones and statues evokes a melancholy atmosphere. Lightening the mood are some charming scenes of children's traditional street games and song.
