Douglas, Thank you for submitting this fine photo of Rupert. In spite of his lifestyle, fondness for a tipple etc., he was a real 'worthy'. My memories of him were of his very smart 'marching' step when moving about the town. He stayed in a house to the rear of Murdo Gilmour, on a lane leading to Jock the Trapper's back yard.
