When I realised where this was, I thought David Tullock was bound to answer it. But then I noticed he had posted it! It is looking across Junction Road towards where Tullocks' petrol pumps now are, with the entrance to the Albert Street car park to the left and the former Cosmo just out of sight further left. I don't remember either of the two buildings in the foreground, but do remember the squint chimney cans on Burnarvie House.

That's no mystery place Davie buey. Hid's what was used as an army recruting centre pre and during world War 2.
Situated right next to what was MacKay and Wallaces garage on the back road,right on the spot where your petrol pumps are now.
I mind it fine!!!!

Rifle Range

I think this is in the back road where the car park is now just along from the post office

The army cadet hut next to WR Tullock's garage Junction Rd

Looks like that shed is right on top of your petrol pumps Dave.

must be across the road from your bit

I'm a bit lost here, can somebody tell me whit year this is thanks?

Some pile of "older" folk look at this site! You are all correct, this is where the petrol pumps are today. Interesting to see that Douglas Thomson, proprietor of Mellis's garage sold Esso fuel. I always thought the only Esso pumps in Kirkwall were Jeck Millers at the Kiln Corner.

My Dad, Colin Moar (Poker) was born in Burnarvie House, the one with the squint chimney pots.

I remember reversing the car in there when I went to the Cosmo, so they must have teen doon the pillar.

This was the old T.A. headquarters I think exactly where W.R.Tullock's petrol pumps and car park are now.
