Stephen wrote: Macalpine's Studio "I came across this studio print of my grandparents and their sons. In the photo are: - my grandfather (of "Edinburgh Refuse Disposal" fame) - my grandmother on the right - my uncle Richard on the left (b. 1910) - my father (of Lochrin Garage fame) in the centre (b.1912). Judging by the size of my father, he must have been no more than 4 or 5 when this was taken. This would put the date of the image at some time in the middle or end of the Great War." |

Stephen asked: Question "The addresses on the back of the postcard are: - 26 Greenside Place, Edinburgh - Waverley Market, Edinburgh and - 29 Promenade, Portobello Does anyone have any idea when Macalphines where doing business at three locations in Edinburgh?" Answer 1 Macalpine & Son had studios at all three of these addresses for the period 1915 to 1918. Here is a link to a page that gives dates and studio addresses, including those for Malcolm Macalpine and for Macalpine and Son. |

Thank you to Stephen for also sending me these photos of his grandfather and grandmother, taken a couple of decades later. Stephen wonders where these two photos might have been taken: |
