Royal Naval Reserve at Drill - Stornoway 1901

The Royal Naval Reserve was formed in 1859 and an introduction may be read here.
The censuses reveal a scattering of Scottish individuals across place and time but by far the largest congregation is found in Stornoway in 1901 where we find these 37 men who were recorded as members of the 'R N Reserve at Drill':

All the men were Boarding apart from the three Mcdonalds at 22 Point St who were at their sister Ann Campbell's Lodging House.
