A strange movie in full 1960s fashion encourages English people to emigrate to Scotland. Yes the usual temptations are offered - highland glens, golf, venison and skiing on slushy snow - but the Smiths also covers life in Glasgow and manages to find tickets for a Scotland versus England football international.
