Thank you to Jim Williamson who replied. 48th Edinburgh Company "I think this photo was taken just off the Cowgate. It's the 48th Edinburgh Company whose captain can be seen with black moustache. He was Captain Hugh Craig MC who won his Military Cross in the First World War. The HQ of the company was the Church of Scotland Shelter just off the Cowgate."
