"It was an even bigger surprise to see my nephew, Gavin Kirkwood, on the  photo of the roundabout with the 'Shop at Binns' bus."

John E Kirkwood

Livingston Village, West Lothian, Scotland

John E Kirkwood has already contacted me several times over the past three years, telling me about the Mini-Reunions that he has been organizing for some of his former classmates at Boroughmuir School.

I was surprised to hear from him again in connection with this photo.

Gavin Kirkwood

On the Roundabout

"It was interesting to see that one of your former work mates, Douglas Roberts, has posted as 'Auld Tyme Fotie' of my eldest son, Gavin.

He is the wee boy sitting in the car on the Burntisland roundabout in front of the Binns Model Bus.  He must have been around 2-3 years of age at the time.  The photo would have been taken summer 1965ish.

Douglas Roberts' sister is an old time friend of my wife.  They still keep in touch with each other.  That's how the photo will have been acquired by Douglas."
