On the subject of Blantyre scouts this week, reader Heather McWilliam shared this photo. This is Jack McWilliam, (born 1926) and looks about 9/10 in the attached photo so I’m guessing it was taken in 1935/6.
The photo is a strange one for me….for it was taken outside the front garden of number 10 Stonefield Crescent, my own family childhood home.
The McWilliam family lived there before my own family and this looks like Jack was heading off to a scouting camp by the looks of things.
