Examines the history of early cinema in Scotland from its inception
in 1896 until the 1930sThe popularity of cinema and cinema-going in
Scotland was exceptional. By 1929 Glasgow had 127 cinemas, and by
1939 it claimed more cinema seats per capita than any other city in
the world. Focusing on the social experience of cinema and
cinema-going, this collection of essays provides a detailed context
for the history of early cinema in Scotland, from its inception in
1896 until the arrival of sound in the early 1930s. Tracing the
movement from travelling fairground shows to the establishment of
permanent cinemas in major cities and small towns across the
country, the book examines the attempts to establish a sustainable
feature film production sector and the significance of an imaginary
version of Scotland in international cinema.With case studies of
key productions like 'Rob Roy' (1911), early cinema in small towns
like Bo'ness, Lerwick and Oban, as well as of the employment
patterns in Scottish cinemas, the collection also includes the most
complete account of Scottish-themed films produced in Scotland,
England, Europe and the USA from 1896 to 1927.Key FeaturesExplores
cinema-going in cities and towns across Scotland, large and
