General notes:
This photograph could be of the Queen's Jubilee in 1887, described in Dr Pride's 'History of the Parish of Neilston': 'From an early hour signs of coming enthusiasm were visible, and as the day wore on, the buildings were gay with bunting; strings of bannerets were thrown across the streets, and flags of many descriptions were displayed from the windows and house-tops...' The reverse of the photograph describes the crowd as 'Mrs Buchan's audience'.
