Inspecting the TA on her visit in (1987).
Picture added on 27 July 2007
Am I correct in saying that the TA must have had the "Freedom if the City" conferred on them, which would have given them the right to march through Kirkwall with "bayonettes fixed"?

This is obviously not the T.A.
Something tells me that this picture was an inspection of the Queens Own Highlanders.
When is the question.

Very inaccurate statements and what is the reference of the East Church when you are in front of the Cathedral and not mentioned. Re adjust.
