Hi Vivienne,

Ronnie Adamson is my dad's (Gilbert Walls Adamson)cousin. My dad and I met Ronnie and his mum Rita in 1991. This was the last time my dad went back home to Stromness and my first and only visit to date. We also met my dad's best pal up there, Jim Merriman (China). My dad was China's best man when he married Iris Marwick. I still send Ronnie a Christmas card.

Hi Vivienne, Wonder if you could kindly make a couple of corrections to the names on this photo please. My Mum is Elizabeth Wallas ( you have it as Wallace) who is 6th from the left middle row and next to her is Sunniva Clouston who is 7th from left on that row next to my Mum. You have Sunniva as the end of the front row which is not her. Appreciated.
