Here's one for you more eclectic types.

My mother was born Margaret MacKenzie Clow in St. Andrews Scotland in 1922, ... it is someone in her family (whom I'll never be able to identify), but I can tell you that he has my ears and my son's face. This young officer is photographed in service dress, I'm suspecting circa WW1,

Hi Geoff;

Did a little digging, don't know if this will help, but the following Battalions of The Black Watch were formed or mobilized at St. Andrews:

1/7th (Fife) Battalion, T.F. - mobilized at St. Andrews - 4 Aug 1914
2/7th (Fife) Battalion, T.F. - formed at St. Andrews - Sep 1914
3/7th Battalion, T.F. - formed at St. Andrews - Apr 1915.

Cheers
