Having a wee prowl through some photos...does anyone know which pipe band this is and where it was taken...

I have copied the photograph and description below from The Historic Kintyre site.It would seem both photographs were taken on the same day.

Donny McGougan leads the Ceann Loch Pipe Band for a parade through the streets of Campbeltown sometime during the 1950's. The band was formed by soldiers returning home from the Second World War and was made up mostly of ex 8th Argyll's. They wore what uniforms they had remaining from the war and were affectionately known as 'The Tinks' To the left of Donny is William Wilson (Dilly) and to the right is George McIntyre (Tripe).

I recognise the location. They are going down the Main Street, the building to the left was knocked down to build Woolworths. It housed the TSB, and I seem to remember a fishmongers as well.

Thanks Bill...I think I have found out who the boy with the shorts is need to get my dad to confirm it....and I think Jim Coffield is in there somewhere..I might have the wrong name I will find out tomorrow if this is the correct photo...
