This was taken about 1924. The only people I know in it are in the front row fourth from left is Embla Mooney and next to her my mother, Adelaide (Aida) Stewart. The photo says Sinclair, Kirkwall on it so I'm assuming that is the photographer.

Comments:
Came across this photo while random surfing. Maybe it would have attracted comments if it had been turned counterclockwise. Shall we try?

[Go for it Ian. It's far easier to resubmit a wonky one than to try and sort things out here, as by the time I get see it there are three different sized versions in 4 different places, one with a name that bears no relation to the number of the picture... - Steven]

Steven, my carefully considered opinion on your description of the way our photographic submissions arrive with you can only be, "Bloody 'ell!"

Did Aida Stewart have a son Keith, brother of Evelyn?

Does anyone know if these Stewarts went to Ohio, USA around 1955? Aida Stewart was good friends with my mother the late Ina Kennedy. It would be wonderful to hear from Evelyn or her family. Thanks.
