A glimpse along the High Street on 25th July 1985 caught this wee lad in the top picture carrying a couple of large balloons.
They don't appear to have cheered him up any mind you. Still girnie!
And a glimpse along Reform Street in the mid/late 80's caught these 2 characters carrying a heap load of balloons.
The balloons were used to advertise McEwans Ale who were sponsoring the Jazz Festival, the balloons being placed around all the venues where the gigs were taking place. So being snapped in Reform Street means they had just dropped a few balloons off at the Old Bank Bar. You can also see a jazz banner hanging above the duo in the middle image.
