Presentation samples of North Sea oil, 1975-1977, from the first fields to go into production.
On loan from North Lanarkshire Council Museums and Heritage.
The first video shows an aerial view of the Beryl Oil Rig. An image shows the world's worst oil rig disaster. 167 people were killed when the Piper Alpha rig exploded after a gas leak on 6 July 1988. The last film shows the replacement Piper B rig being put into position.
