First in the back row is a Hourston, but I can't mind on his first name... and next to him is (I think) James Moar?
Following on from a conversation with Sarah Johnstone, Gillian (end of front row) Sinclair and Stuart Crichton on Friday night, it must be Stuart and not Gareth in the photo - they were reminiscing about schooldays together.
Middle of the middle row - I had to look twice, because I thought Elaine Simpson had blundered into the wrong photo (she was in my year throughout school). She has older twin sisters, one of whom this must be standing next to Belinda Taylor.
Is the second in on the front row Sandra Mackay or Fiona Ritch? I'm not at all sure... just thought I'd float that questions out there!
And Colin's other question mark in the front row is Anne Kirkness.

In the back row next to Colin Kirkpatrick is Ian Robson, Jim Birley, I cannot remember Ronnies last name, but next to Stewart Crichton is Alan Tulloch. In the middle row next to Kenny Sinclair (I think thta is his last name) is Malcolm Park, and finally in the front row, Shiona Thomson is next to Lindsay Eunson.
