Hi Lass 

Pels has just drawn my attention to your lovely photo.  I' d love to do a restore and colour but have to restrict how much I do at the moment (Poll will slap me if I strain my eyes  too much  ) but I will do it in the next week or so if you can wait.

Wonderful work, can't thank you enough Hippy, Mudge, David, Irene, Carolyn and the lovely Poll (*waves* hey honey!).

As always, in awe of everyone's talents, I call it magic in this part of the world 

Gadget, hello my sweet! I'd be totally delighted for you to have a play with colour, but on the condition that you take your time or jack it in completely if you're overdoing it, I know you need to be very careful.  I don't wish to be responsible for making you suffer.  Nor do I wish to be on the receiving end of Poll's whip.

Hi Lass... it's a lovely photo and I'll have a proper go later in the week.. The "quickie" was by way of bookmarking the page to remind me ... 
 I would insist PELS DOES A RESTORE TOO if I were you She seems to be  a bit like a talent scout... searching the board for really fabulous photos to restore  ... then sending us pms to do them!!   So   ... we will if you will Pels 
 Poll

ps I'm watching ....and counting Gadget ....

Bless ya, Poll! 

Pels, where are ya? Poll wants you to do a restore for me 

Something just occurred to me which flew straight past me in the heat of the moment of laying hands on this photo!  I had originally presumed this to be their wedding photo, but am wondering if I'm now wrong.  The photographer is Edinburgh based, although they were married in Laurencekirk.  Can anyone shed any light on this? Would they have hired a photographer to come up from Edinburgh (seems daft since there were plenty locally) or would they have headed down to Edinburgh later, dressed in their finery? Can't see that either, especially since I don't believe there were any family down here back then.  Or is it just not their wedding pic?!!  Date fits ok, they were married in 1902 and I believe the photographers were around then.....

Hi Lass

Pels told me on the phone that she was doing it - I suggested that she restored and I coloured but she said that it would take her ages. She has sent me the large version so I've got my spot healing tools and finger mark duster  out 

I noticed the Leith Walk address. Laurencekirk is a fair way away so I'm not sure that it would be a wedding photo. Maybe they went to Edinburgh for a honeymoon.

She does have a wedding ring on and her dress looks to me as if it could be 1902-1905

Thank you Gadget, you're wonderful 

It might just be a photo, not a particularly special one, that they got all dolled up for!
