Whit a super photo. I like the wee lad on the right wi' the kettle.

Now that I have studied the picture,I do not think the child on Kitty Scotts knee is me. Cousin Jim was at least five years older than me. I was born in 1933. I wonder if the child could be Jim's sister Iris?

Well Sandy, it could be Iris,but I'm sure I showed this to Iris many years ago and she didn't say it was herself. Maybe Shiela Wylie, Nellies daughter.
