No, I think it must be a bit after 1924. Bill Leslie (Sailor Bill) was still working in 1979. And I know he was fair bit younger than my grandfather, b. 1910.

Jim Leonard was a WW1 veteran, so the photo will be late 50's probably.

I would say not earlier than 1930. My cousin, Jim Harcus, would have been about ten or eleven in 1924 and he is clearly older than that in this photo.

Hi Im Looking for family of Jim Harcus to see if we are related, I was born in Edinburgh but my family came from Orkney and it would be good to compare notes. Thank you

My grandfather was Geothe Gibson Corsie born in Rousay in 1906. Was he relaterade to Bob and Teddy shown in the picture? Hoping someone a answers me.

Regarding my post from July 28...my grandfather's name was George Gibson Corsie, not Geothe!
