Maggie Thatcher visiting the old Kirkwall Auction Mart.
Picture taken from a collection of old photos belonging to my grandad, Allan Taylor. Andrew Petrie (far right) also known as Andrew o' the Wart (in Burray) was a relation of ours. He died in 1995.
I will leave the names to someone else who knows them all, as well as the year of the visit etc. [Date estimated]
