The Scottish portrait painter George Watson trained in London under Sir Joshua Reynolds. The first president of the Royal Scottish Academy, many of his paintings are today in the National Galleries Scotland.
Jeannetta Catherine MacGregor, shown here as a young girl, was born in 1800 to Robert MacGregor (a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Clan Alpine Fencibles) and Barbara Mackenzie. Her first marriage to Robert Sutherland was subsequently followed by her second marriage to William Darley Hull. After a long life, she died at the age of about 83.
