4th/5th Black Watch
This photo was taken in the foyer of the Greens Playhouse, Dundee.
I can pick out only Willie Smith who is the second Piper from the right.
By the looks of the Drum tensioners, I would guess that the photo was taken prior to 1960
We are still looking for the remaining and any backgrounds of these Pipers.
Can you tell us more?
Hot off the press!
Someone has suggested that pipers such as Fred Duncan, Bert Barron, and Jimmy Doig could well feature in our photo. I have had a "richt gied look" and canna see Fred or Bert. Jimmy Doig I don't know, so I am still needing names for faces.
Just to keep you all on your toes, I have added more teezers.

The photo below is not dated but was on "9th September". I know that in those days, Braemar was held on Thursdays, so what year was Thursday 9th September. What about some names.
Although it says 4th/5th Black Watch, I notice that there are 2 Pipe Majors.???
The following dates have been mentioned as possible years for when
the photo was taken. I feel that the first one is the more likely as I
personal memories during the rest which would tend to take them
out of the equation.
1954, 1965, 1971 or 1976!
Do you know differently?
