Thank you to Neil Lawrence for replying.

Location

"Here is a possible location for this photo.  The house looks similar to a 'Mick & Mac' house (McTaggart & Mickel).

There are similar houses at Carrick Knowe Terrace."

Neil Lawrence, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh:  October 21, 2011

Neil  sent me a 'Google Street View' photo of a similar house at 41/43 Carrick Knowe Terrace and added:

"Corstorphine Hill in the background looks similar."

"I'm sure that the picture was taken at Carrick Knowe.  I think that's Corstorphine Hill in the background."

"I've now found another negative with the name Carrick Knowe on it.  It is of a church concert, but it is not dated."
