Hi Liz
Not sure what kind of photos you are looking for?

A Google search for Seaforth Highlanders brings up quite a number of sites including this one which claims to have photos of individual men, but any I clicked on were not yet there, so it's not looking too useful at the moment....

I had a look at this and found someone who could be my grandfather but they want £3.85 for a download copy - and it may not be the right person .......... no thanks.
Looked at the alternative by checking the source of the photos - The Sword Of The North Highland Memories Of The Great War by Dugald MacEchern - out on Amazon and find it will cost £265.00 to buy it. I could put a request into my local library but can't think that their budget would stretch to this for such a specialised publication.
Then from the east there came a wee hard man, oh hoa, aw' the wi fae Brigton.

They may be able to get hold of a copy on inter-library loan if there is a copy held elsewhere. Worth asking... :D

I think the Mitchell Library in Glagow may have a copy of 'Sword in the North'.

Yes indeed ask your local library to find it through interloan.
If they cannot find it in another county library for you, you may
be able to fill in a request to borrow it from the British Library
where they usually have one copy of every book.
