The legend on the back of this photos reads: "Is she going over" he asked. McCumisky's car that he drove over Tiroran bridge with Mrs. Stott and party in, on May 12th 1915.

McCumisky was a shop keeper in Salen, who ran a taxi service. He was hired by the Bell family of Tavool to bring their relations (the Stotts) from the boat in Salen to Tiroran, from where they would have changed to a "machine" (pony and trap) to take them the rest of the way to Tavool.
