This photo is of my grandmother Jessie Macleod, with my uncles Colin, Lorne, Duncan, Donald (Dodo) and my mother Ishbel. My mother appears to be approximately three years of age in the photograph, so I would think this picture was taken circa 1925.

This photo must be 90 years old. It is my grandmother Jessie Macleod with my uncles Colin, Lorne, Duncan, Dodo and my mother Ishbel.
