This photo of my wife Linda's Scott ancestors is not a Remembrance Day photo, as such, but I thought I would present it here and now because it has a direct connection to the WW1 era and there is an excellent WW1 exhibit currently on display at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre. It was taken on Jane Street, south of Kinghorn, at the home Lewis W. James Scott. I do not know the exact date of the photo, but judging by the three family members in uniform, it was early in the 1900s. The elderly couple in the centre of the back row are James and Edith Scott and there are four generations of their family in the photo. The soldiers are husbands of James and Edith's granddaughters. This house still stands today on the west side of Jane Street, south of the Kingsbridge Centre. There are a number of Scott descendants still about in the King area.
Please comment if you wish.
