Thank you to Terry McGuire for sending me a copy of this photo of the 35th Liberton Scout Troop pulling their trek cart in Waverley Station.

To Camp in Holland

"This photo of 35th Liberton Scout Troop was taken at Waverley Station when the troop was on its way to Holland.

We were to spend a week with the Blue Arrow Troop of Dutch scouts from Haarlem in camp and a week staying with various Dutch families throughout Holland."

Our Troop.

"Our Scout Master was Bill (Massa) Thomson.  I was thirteen and a half years old and it was a great adventure.

In the photo, I'm 2nd left at the front.  The other names that I remember are:

-  Tom Bisset

-  Dougie Riddell

-  Dave Bisset

-  Joe Rendall

-  George Dempster

-  Kenny Samuel

-  Ian Hall

-  Jimmy Nicholson

-  Billy Pollock.

Maybe some of the visitors to the EdinPhoto site will remember this camp.  If so, it would be interesting to read their comments.
