Looks like a braw wee crowd of scotties.
Remember that pub well.

These older photos surfacing are great.

Looks like a bit of scotish influence there

John Rawcliffe
Many a xmas dinner in the red dog and there was a old theater not far from there that was fun to explore

Allan Davidson
My father, Hector Davidson, is the piper kneeling on the left. The photo has been cropped. My grandfather, George Davidson, Chief of the Caledonian Society, is in the original photo standing on the right next to the man with the upraised sword. Go to Digital NZ or Auckland Library, Heritage AWNS-19190807-32-02 to see the full photo. The photo appeared in the Auckland Weekly News, 7 August 1919, p.32.
