This image is one from a
collection of glass negatives that were found recently. Some
of the negatives show groups of girls around Randolph Square and
Randolph Gardens, Edinburgh.

Many thanks to William Crossan
for your email message of 12 October 03, in which you wrote:
"I believe photos 1 & 2 are at
the top of Gullane Hill. Whim Road Gullane East Lothian. I
believe the first photo is a picture of 'The Whim' at the top of
the hill overlooking the Firth of Forth.
The
second photo is of a
house right at the top of the hill in the same location. I
estimate the photos were taken around 1910 to 1925. Hope
that is helpful." |

Thank you also to Colin Sinclair
for your email message of 20 November 03, in which you wrote:
"Unfortunately, I don't believe
the Gullane Photo 1 is of the old shelter at the top of Gullane
Hill.
Colin then photographed the shelter on Gullane Hill
and sent me a copy. This is the 2003 photograph above. The setting is similar,
but it appears to be a different building. |

Possibly the same shelter?
Is it possible that this
shelter has had a storey removed and the extension built beside it, some
time between the early 1900s and early 2000s?
Might the early photograph above
have been printed wrong way round? i.e. reversed left to
right?
