Hello,
I am not sure the date of "1933" can be correct.
John MacKay of Sandycroft (my 1st cousin 2x removed) was born in 1911. If the year for this photo really is 1933 he would be a strapping young man of 22 years and I don't think he'd be allowed in a children's school photo. I also have a wedding photo for his uncle Kenneth MacKay (Poles) to Christina Ross taken in 1926 at Dingwall. In that photo John MacKay is a bit older and taller than he is in this school photo. So the more likely date for this photo would be 1923. Margaret "Maggie" MacKay was 1 year older than her brother John. She was born in 1910, again if this photo was really taken in 1933 she would have been 23 years old.

Over time we can receive copies of the same photographs from different sources and this is not always picked up before cataloguing. 2002.004 is also a copy of the 2003.116 photograph Administrator
