Following the success of ‘The Braemar Gathering’ (1941), JB McDonald Produced a further film which documented the event, ‘Tartan Triumph- The Braemar Gathering’, in 1952 and was for a while official photographer of the event.

His enthusiasm for the hilled landscapes of Scotland seen in ‘Deer Stalking in Winter’ (1941) was also reflected in ‘Youth on the Hills’ (1948), one of many films documenting his Scottish mountain expeditions. This film was highly commended at the 1948 Scottish Amateur film festival.
