No question about it. It is taken with your back to wall of what would be my father's shop Drever & Boyes Licence Grocers from 1948 till it shut in 1984. The shop was converted into living accommodation in 2001/02

Have just come across this while idly clicking on Random Pic (a very fine way to pass a little time). In those days, 'Porteous Brae' hadn't been thought of. It was Laird's Brae after the butcher whose premises were a few doors further south in what was later James (Jimmy Feet) Stevenson's shop.
