BFI releases archive of life in Scotland

The British Film Institute has digitised thousands of films, from the 1890s to the present day, and made them available to the public through its website.

The British Film Institute's Britain on Film project includes films and news reels which have been digitised and are now available to watch free online on the BFI player.

BBC Scotland's Aileen Clarke has been taking a look.
