Blantyre Scouts at Kirkton Cross, outside the Old Parish Church Halls. Likely late 1950’s or early 1960s, i’m assured Blantyre lads Alec Purse, Ian Smith, Norrie Clements and Jim Reid are in this photo.
Do you know anybody else or able to firm up the date?
Update: Ive now had this confirmed it is 1962.

Blantyre Project Hi Moyra -Im sorry to read that. I suspect a few of these lads may not be here anymore. Are you able to firm up the decade or date, going by how old he looks? I’ve said the picture looks 1950s or 60s but is too vague. Thanks.
Ann Brown Don’t know whether 50s or 60s. Norrie Clement passed away 4 years ago, he was my uncle
Margaret Nimmo Lehmann Maybe late 50s Paul. I recognize the names Norrie Clements and Alec Purse but these boys look younger than I remember in the early 60s
