Residents in Kirkwall Avenue, Priory Bridge must have been a very patient bunch in 1979.
Every night at number 1 Kirkwall Avenue, comes the sound of bagpipes….played by beginners! Alistair Lawrie who lived there (certainly in April 1979) worked during the day as a salesman for Heinz Foods, but at night he did something different by teaching bagpipes. He’s pictured here giving a demonstration to two pupils.
Gary Dewar, left a Canadian student of medicine and Andy Davidson , a food salesmen pictured on the right seem to be enjoying themselves!

Alistair Lawrie Alistair Lawrie still lives at 1 Kirkwall ave, but I stopped playing the pipes about ten years ago. Thanks for the memory.
Hi , I am trying to contact Alistair Laurie. I was best man at his wedding to Sandra who I now know has passed away. I have no phone number for my dear old friend and really need to contact him and Angela their daughter after such a very long, too long, time.
