The Ba' parking on Broad Street

I got this picture of the Ba' on Broad Street from Bryan Guthrie. He reckoned it was from about 1965 although he said it was difficult to remember that far back!!
Bryan is the 5th from the left on the wall in front of the old lady.

Comments:
The lady on the right of the picture, carrying her pet poodle, is the late Mary Muir.The man immediately in front of the guy who forgot to darn the elbow of his jersey is the late Jackie Scott ( I think )

The lady in the foreground on the right back on, is surely Mary Muir holding her poodle, a constant companion.

I remember Mary Muir as she used to live up the road from me when I was a bairn. Her poodle was called Peep-Bo or Peeps. I also mind she had a North Ronaldsay lamb as a companion as well. She was a right character!

The lady third from the left is a Mrs Yule, Next to her is the late Kenny Burns, Me, Gordon Monkman, Davy Coltherd and Evan Monkman with the hood up, I think it is Harry Kerr with the goatee beard and possibly two Mrs Gibsons in front of the cross.The man looking at Mary Muir onthe far right is the late Ronnie Drever.

Front left wearing dark jersey with pattern is the late Eddie Dunnett, on his right chap with light coloured jersey with hole in right elbow could be the late Brian Kemp.
Head on front of Kenny Burns, sort of pepping above Eddie Dunnett looks like Richard Gibson.
