Scout camp at Portlethen
Regarding the comments on picture #919 about the Scout camp at Portlethen, here is a picture taken at the camp.
My father (Bill Smith) is in the middle and I think that is me hiding behind the dixie, can anyone name the others?

Dave, I think it is Geordie Strachan beside you and Ian Murray on left of picture and possibly John Wood behind.

Ian Murray, and Gordie Peterson kneeling on the left, and Kenny MacLean standing on the right.

David, Its odd how little things stick in your mind. I remember my sister once coming home from school and saying that she had noticed Bill Smith swinging his leg over his bike and flashing a pair of very bright yellow socks. This was in the days of very conservative dressing and we all thought it was great that a teacher could wear something so "cool". To this day when I put on a pair of yellow socks I think of your Dad!
