Scout Meetings "I've made reference to the 143rd Gilmerton scout group over the past few weeks on your site so I've dug out their photograph. The photo is taken in the Gilmerton church hall located in Ravenscroft Street. The 143rd scout group would meet every Thursday night from 1930hrs - 2100hrs. On the way home we'd all stop off in Willie Blair's fish and chip shop on Newtoft Street - fantastic chips, accompanied by the customary 1d pickled onion!." |

The Photo "This photo is taken in late 1968 and was used for the Christmas calendar. I'm located in the middle row, third from left. The only name I can remember are Johnny Richards. He's in the front row, third * from left." * Tom Collins says 4th from the left. See table below |

If you know who took this photo, please e-mail me to let me know so that I can contact them. Forbes wrote: The Photographer "There is no photographers name on the rear of the photo but from memory and to keep the calendar costs down, the father of the lad (front row, 2nd from the left) took the photo. I believe the lad's father even developed the photos in his own room at home." |
