This photo shared by Hamish Dow is from 1954. Pictured are Blantyre Souts at the District Camp.
It’s a pity the photos are in black and white. If they were in colour your could distinguish the individual troops from their neckies:
1st Blantyre Old Parish: Blue with Gold
2nd Stonefield Parish: Red with White
3rd Livingstone Memorial: Yellow with Purple (or vice versa)
4th Anderson: Brown with Gold
5th Burleigh: Green with Purple
Hamish told me, “The District Commissioner was Charlie Cook, son-in-law of Joe and Mary Hobson who had the tobacconist shop in Main Street and then moved to the Dairy at 9 Broompark Road around 1953 when my Great Granny retired.”
