It is taken in the late 40's, early 50's, when the local photographer would set his camera up in the street and snap random passers-by. He would then post the images in his shop window and if you saw yourself and liked the photo, you went in and bought a copy. My grandmother was obviously an easy mark, as I have several taken at different times. Here she is with my mother, striding along Burntisland High Street, while out for a bit of shopping.
Jocko, I've got a couple of photos exactly like that from the late '30s, one of my grandparents while they were dating and one of my grandmother and her mother (both taken on the streets of New York City).
Thanks for explaining the process. I wondered how the subjects eventually made the connection with their photo.
