Boys' Brigade - Old Car "The photo of the Boys' Brigade and Old Car was taken in front of the Barclay Church. The shops in the background are Gillespie Place, No 8 being Archibald Thomson, Stationer, as per the 1901 Edinburgh Post Office Directory."

Boys' Brigade - Vintage Car "We have circulated the photo to many of our experts who remained unusually quiet. Fortunately one of our venerable ‘veteran’ experts, Tim Harding, who is rarely wrong, says it is a c.1903 Darracq, probably the 8HP. The steering wheel column gear change is apparently the clue. This car seems to have a narrow radiator profile. By 1904 and ‘Genevieve’ they had much more conventional ‘modern’ radiators."
