OBAN CELTIC v NEWTONMORE - bunnets and all

Footage from the 1937 Camanachd Cup Final between Oban Celtic, in their first final, and Newtonmore, appearing in their 18th Camanachd final.

The film is supplied courtesy of the National Library of Scotland's Scottish Screen Archive.

The game featured, held at the Bught, Inverness, ended 2-2 with Celtic going on to win 2-1 in the replay at Keppoch.

Incredible footage, and can you name any of the players or spectators? Who is the dandy with the hat and brolly who can't keep out of the camera shot, and even staged a one-man pitch invasion to get his fizzog on the cinema screens of Scotland?

What a crowd there was at the Bught that day - when men were men - and even wore bunnets while playing in the Camanachd Cup Final.
