Mr Thomas Bain in the top picture is my uncle from Westray. He was the eldst of my father's family. There was Thomas (Tom), Robert (Bob my father,) Alexander (Alex) and George.

I wonder if anyone remembers a song by Madge and Gillie Voy which,I think,was called An Evening At The Bu In Orphir.

Tom Bain is my uncle from Westray

I knew all the people in the first picture in the thirties Tom Bain being my fathers eldest brother from Westray (my uncle). Robert Milne was a cabinetmaker to trade and had a furniture shop in Junction Road. We had all, or most of their records.

I have the record A night at the Bu and I'm trying to get it transferre to mp3 so I can send it to you.
