Golspie Sutherland 1909

From Donald Stewart, originally from Golspie, now living at Balloch, near Inverness, comes this photo of Golspie Sutherland FC dated February 1909, taken after what was perhaps its most historic triumph, when one morning it played Citadel FC at Inverness to win the North of Scotland Junior Cup, and on the afternoon of the same day rushed north to beat Tain FC to win the Mid-Ross Shield. For the record, those in the picture were: Rear, from left: Unidentified, Alex MacDonald, D Ewan, D T Sutherland, James Sutherland, Bob Murray, unidentified; front from left: Donald Sutherland, D A Munro, Jimmy Ellis, William Miller, J K Matheson, J Stewart.
