Could be the Northern Counties Cup from a time when Royal Dornoch swept the boards.
From L to R, ?,?, Jim MacKay (Tight), ?, Jim MacRae(Cairnie) holding the cup, ?, Duncan Murray(Barrel), KW Walker(Nairn). Could be that Dornoch had just beaten Nairn in the final. Chains suggest that it could have been in Dornoch.
