Can anyone help please?

Hello can someone help me please?
I would love this photo of my great grandad in colour, can it be done?
He has brown hair and grey eyes.

Is it possible to make it larger as well, I would like to get it frame for my dad.   

Thank you.

Hi Pettsy

This is scanned at a low resolution and needs to be between 300-600 dpi to get  good results. The higher the resolution the better the results will be, especially if you want to enlarge it.

Here is my attempt anyway. It prints well on a 4 x 6 but not sure it will on anything larger

Hi Irene

That is great, thank you so much.

It looks like I will have to get a new scanner asap

Any chance of a higher resolution scan?

Hi Pettsy ....Do you have the original pic ? The one that you posted has already had some manipulation on it and consequently the original details are not there to retrieved .

Here it the original. 

I have put on another photo from the Glasgow Evening Times, can it be made bigger?
My great grandfather, Andrew Munn, is top right, in his civvies, without a hat, under where it says Clydebank.
I am not sure if this picture can be made bigger, but it would be great if I could get a copy of the photo from it. 
Thank you

Hi Pettsy
Have used your second image, and think there is an improvement on my first restore
