Whit a super photo. I like the wee lad on the right wi' the kettle.

Now that I have studied the picture,I do not think the child on Kitty Scotts knee is me. Cousin Jim was at least five years older than me. I was born in 1933. I wonder if the child could be Jim's sister Iris?

Well Sandy, it could be Iris,but I'm sure I showed this to Iris many years ago and she didn't say it was herself. Maybe Shiela Wylie, Nellies daughter.

I'm quite sure the fidler is Ernie Louttit, lived next my grandparents (Innes)(Crowsnest) in a place called Lobers. The Croft is still there with red front doors. Her spouse was Peggy famous in those days for her baking skills.
