Searching for a staff Photograph from 1990

Post by doddie » Sat Jun 04, 2011 3:31 pm

Hoping this is the correct board for my inquiry.I know this will sound a bit anorakish (is that a word?), not to say a bit pointless after all this time but I am after some help trying to get hold of a copy of a staff photograph. In 1990 I was working at Cameron House Hotel & Country Estate, by Loch Lomond in Scotland. I was a porter. The hotel (previously a privately owned stately home) had only just opened for business and so it was decided to have a photograph taken of all the staff. The photograph was taken at the front of the hotel with part of the loch in the background. The uniform of most of the staff was green. A cracking picture it was too. As far as I know only one copy was obtained and was on display in the office of the manager's PA (Louise?). At the time I spoke to her about the photograph and the possibility of getting hold of a copy for myself. If I remember correctly, she said she would try and find out the name and address of the photographer. For whatever reason I didn't follow things up. Since then I always been trying to track down a copy of the photograph. I am relatively sure that the photographer's business was in nearby Alexandria or possibly Dumbarton. I am more than aware that the chances of success in this search are virtually nil, or worse, but I thought I would give it a go anyway. All help would be very welcome.

Regards

Hi annette, yes. I sent off a letter to the hotel earlier today. I just thought I would try to cover every eventuality by posting on some of the websites too. You never know, lady luck might just shine on me.....
