Scout Meetings
"I've made reference to the 143rd Gilmerton
scout group over the past few weeks on your site so I've dug out their
photograph.
The photo is taken in the Gilmerton church
hall located in Ravenscroft Street. The 143rd scout group would meet
every Thursday night from 1930hrs - 2100hrs.
On the way home we'd all stop off in Willie
Blair's fish and chip shop on Newtoft Street - fantastic chips,
accompanied by the customary 1d pickled onion!."

The Photo
"This photo is taken in late 1968 and was used
for the Christmas calendar. I'm located in the middle row, third from
left.
The only name I can remember are Johnny
Richards. He's in the front row, third from left."

The Photographer
"There is no photographers name on the rear of
the photo but from memory and to keep the calendar costs down, the father
of the lad (front row, 2nd from the left) took the photo.
I believe the lad's father even developed the
photos in his own room at home." |
