Meggetland

Thank you to Neil Johnston for allowing me to reproduce this photograph of his family on the bowling green at Meggetland, around 1955.  I also like the pram in the background!

Bertram's Bowling Green?

"The building in this photo looks a bit familiar to me.

My father worked in Bertram's, Sciennes, Edinburgh.  The company had land which included a bowling green, tennis courts and a lovely children's play area, which included a shute, swings and a roundabout.

Do you know if the bowling green in this photo was Bertram's?"
