Scouts at Strathallan Park

Taken at what is now the entrance to Strathallan Park the scouts are in front of what was then Strathallan Hall.

It served as a children's home from 1883 until new premises were built in Glencrutchery Road and opened in 1910.

After the premises were vacated they were purchased by Mr Joseph Cunningham who was the Island Commissioner for Scouts.

By 1910 there were two scout troops in Onchan, 1st Onchan and 2nd Onchan but which one was this?
