Troops leaving from Tain Station

This post card showing troops being given a send off by relatives, friends and other well-wishers as they left by train for the front was taken during the First World War (1914-18). It was not posted to anyone but someone has written on the back "We were all down here seeing the boys leave for the front."

Comments

Was this picture taken at Tain Station or elsewhere as there seems to be an awful lot of Black Watch badges on parade
