The Photo

Thank you to Andy Tulloch for sending me this photo.  Andy was one of members of the darts team from The Whitehouse, Craigmillar, seen here standing with their trophies in 1974.

The centrepiece is the Scottish Team Championship Plaque, sponsored by the Even ing News.  The prize for winning this plaque included a  holiday trip to Majorca.

"I just wanted to  put a name to the gent front row on the right. I'm sure he was Mick Meechan - but I'm not 100% sure of his surname.

He was the Manager of the Whitehouse Pub during the 1960s and 1970s.  I believe he moved on to manage a pub in the Leith area ,possibly Easter Rd
