Of course, we have other circumstantial evidence that you found, in that we know Archibald Murray must have been at Balholmie in 1907.

Have a look at this, in the first one I cropped away the cigarette.  In the second one, I overlaid Archibald on top of Unknown man.

I really think you have identified him. All the facial evidence and then of course the fact we know he was at Balhomie in 1907 [a fact I had completely overlooked] I would think makes this a positive identification.  What does everybody ele think?
Well done Caz.

Yes I would agree with that too.

After looking at the Peerage page,it's amazing how many of the Gentry came from Perthshire..

I'm in agreement with the identification, pity we cannot see more around the eyes but the rest of the facial features are very similar, I'm sure I've seen Archie on one or two of the other threads..

I'm convinced now that they're the same man, the overlay clinches it

for me

I think it is possible they are the same man, but still wondering whether the moustache is clouding my judgement 

We know that Archibald and Dulcie were at Balhomie between 9th-14th October 1907 from "Grandmothers photo album".  Archie would have been 40 years old and Dulcie 34.  I think the unknown man does look about 40 in the photo.

Archibald and Dulcie had only been married 6 months when they signed the photo album.  They married at St. George Hanover Square, London on 9th April 1907.  I wonder if the wedding was reported in the newspapers, it may also list guest names.

I think there is a very strong possibility it is him, but I would not stake my house on it.  Apart from the looks, as we've mentioned, we know Archibald was at Balholmie in 1907 and we dated the Clifton Brown photos at around 1907 based on the children's ages, so timeframe also fits.

PS I think the mo is a good match
