Hugh Dunn (plumber)
This is a fine picture of Hugh, he was a favourite of mine. When he came to visit, my Granny would always make me take his arm home, but when we got within a block of his house, he would insist on going the last bit on his own.
I think the boy is his grandson Robert Dunn Jr.
Hugh's business and residence was at 75 Clyde St.

Hi Harry - Hamish Dunn, also a plumber, who still lives in Invergordon is the spitting image of this gent. I assume he is also a relative?

Hi Jillian, yes Hugh is Hamish's father. Hamish was the youngest.

Harry, what a lovely photo of Hugh. I think of all the sons Hamish looked the most like his Dad.

That's Robert Dunn ..by heck no change there...he was a police oficer on the Isle of Lewis with me in the late '80s..retired now like myself.

I am pretty sure this is the same Robert Dunn who was a couple of years above me in school (see picture #532, back row - far right). The Primary 5 photo would make him about 10 in 1965 - looks about 4 years old above, so I would date this photo about 1959.

Yes that is Robert Dunn without a doubt - went through school with him. I lived in pre-fabs on Joss Street when he lived on Clyde Street. Also was my best man in 1974 - still mates to-day.

Can anyone in town pass on my best regards to Hamish Dunn. I remember him as a very cheery character and a very good friend of my father. It's great to hear he is having a good long life.
