1961 Smellies Auction shared by J Cochrane

Another great photo with various Blantyre connections, sent in from Jim Cochrane. Jim writes, “My Grandfather John Marshall is pictured, who was the farmer at Calderside Farm visiting Hamilton Auction Market of LS Smellie to buy their Christmas Turkey. The date is 15 Dec 1961. He’s the one second from the left with hands through the railing.

Robert Smellie who then went to live at Shott farm is holding the Turkey.”
