Trip to Blairgowrie

Thank you to Bryan Gourlay for sending me the photograph above of his Gran and his father on a trip from Edinburgh to Blairgowrie in a Hillman.

Transport

 "The photo at the top of this page shows my gran and my dad   They are on a trip from Edinburgh to Blairgowrie in about 1937.

I think the car is a Hillman, but I guess someone will be able to tell me the model and what date it was registered."

Fashion

"My gran and my dad in the photograph above are dressed in what would now be called ‘smart casual' gear.

Although the weather is warm enough for the car’s windscreen to be open, my great grandmother is in no mind to discard her fur coat.

At Home

Here is another photograph of Bryan's gran, dressed in her fur coat, standing on the steps of her house at 13, Lutton Place with two of Bryan's aunts:
