The photo was taken in 1969.  I remember quite a few people in the photo.  I am right in the front with the black blazer on, and I'm standing on the pavement to make myself look taller which you did back then.

Ha ha, happy days !!!!!!!!!!!"

The State Cinema

The State Cinema, on the east side of Great Junction Street, was situated beside the bridge over the Water of Leith.

When might this photo have been taken?
