Comments

The girl standing to the left of Justin Calder in the back row is Catherine Mackenzie. The girl standing to the right of Justin Calder is definitely not Sheena Woodburn. Sheena was my best friend - she is only one year older than us, Billy. The girl standing to the right of Eileen Andrews at the end of the 2nd row is Mary Macloed.

The boy front right is not me as I left home to join the RAF in 1947. Must be another Geo Sutherland. I don't recognise Shirley Mackenzie either!

Sadly, the George Sutherland in this pic suffered a fatal accident while working on the Distillery when it was being built. George was a promising footballer and I think he was on the brink of a profesional career (early 1960s?).

Billy, the George Sutherland that had the accident was "Pico". Do you think this is him or is this another George Sutherland?

I worked at the smelter at Invergordon while it was being built. In August 1970 on a Sunday afternoon 'Pico' died as a result of an accident while painting the outside of one of the carbon plant silos. I'm afraid I remember it well as I had watched him and a colleague that morning as they raised the cradle on which they worked from. I believe one end of the cradle gave way and he fell to his death.
