| The Thirty-ninth Haymarket was once one of Edinburgh's most flourishing Scout Groups. They met in the Hall of St John's Church, at the West End of Princes Street, where they were based from their founding in August 1914 until they folded in February 1979. From the 1950s, they wore a distinctive purple neckerchief with a gold embroidered Maltese cross.
This web site traces the history of this remarkable Group. The photographs are all taken from the archives held at Edinburgh Scout Headquarters, many collected during an effort to discover more about the history of the Group at the time of its golden anniversary celebrations in 1964. Click on any of the buttons above to start your tour of this virtual archive. If all this is not enough, there is a book about the Group entitled In the Spirit of B-P.
