In the image of God? You must be joking!
This is a picture of my Gt Grandfather, James (Bunt) Munro (front right), taking part in a procession for the King. Can you confirm that this is taken in Thurso and passing the same Shearers shop referred to in previous threads? Also does anyone have any pictures of what was the "Temperence Hotel"? Thanks.

I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
Was it not to celebrate the visit of George V? I seem to remember a photo of the George V being driven up past the Station Hotel on his way to the railway station.
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
I think this must have been a procession for the visit of King George V as my grandfather was only born in 1911.
Looking forward to searching the rest of your pictures Thirsaloon - I see you've started a Wick thread.
Thanks to the patience and help of "Metalattakk" and "bky" I will now be able to post more pictures I may find without the stress I had with adding the procession one!
I found this link which states 1915. http://www.gwpda.org/naval/kgvscapa.htm

I just found this thread last night. My wife's mother was Barbara Doull and her uncle was Willie Doull. Can you tell me when this picture was taken? Also, my wife's not sure which one is her mother and uncle (of course she didn't know her well when she was young and unmarried ). This is such a great thread, we sat for hours last night looking at it. I was stationed n Thurso in the 60' and 70's. Thanks s much for sharing these wonderful memories. And you do need a seprate web site, or at least a section somewhere in the Org.
Here are a few more of these aerial photos taken during the early to mid 70's. There are quite a few changes to be seen in places.

This is the old St Ola coming into Scrabster
The final one is of Thurso East.
My grateful thanks to Bobinovich - I couldn't have done this without him!!

I lived in the first floor flat above Lindsay's from 1963 to 1969. My dad worked in the shop. It was a good place to live, right in the middle of town. Our bright red front door (now gone) was between the two shop doors. I guess the flats must now be accessed from the rear of the building.
