Further to previous photo of Dornoch Academy 1922/23, this is the same George Calder, back row extreme left. So the dates on both are probably wrong. To the best of my calculations, George Calder was born in 1922, so he looks too young in this photo for 1934.

My Aunt Chrissie Munro of North Street was born in 1921. I hope this helps with the date on the above entry. Please see information for Chrissie Munro on Nos. 3963 and 3964. Comment left on 24 June 2015 at 17:46 by Sandra Wilson (Munro)
Hello, I think this may be a couple of years later than 1931 (possibly 1932-34) as my great uncle Ken (Kenneth Sutherland) looks about 11 or 12. He was born in January 1921. If you compare this with photo #3964 which is given a date of 1928, Ken looks about 7 and that date would be right.

Our catalogue has 'Early' and 'Late' date fields so that, in the absence of a validated date, bracket dates are entered in our catalogue record. In such circumstances the early date is that which appears on the image library picture page, pending a validated date. Administrator
