Brigadier Eneas Grant, born 1901, belonged to a family which served in the Seaforth Highlanders for four generations. He served in the regiment from 1920 to 1955, when he retired to his house and hill farm at Tomatin. Both his sons joined the Seaforth, the elder being killed in action in Korea in 1951. The supplement to the London Gazette of October 1945 announced 'The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the following awards in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North-West Europe: Brigadier (acting) Eneas Henry George GRANT, D.S.O., M.C. (18829), The Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs, The Duke of Albany's) (Tomatin, Inverness).' An un-dated newspaper cutting from 1951 is filed with the negatives. It announces his being awarded a C.B.E. and states: 'Brigadier (Temporary) Eneas Henry George Grant, D.S.O, M.C., late Infantry. Brigadier Grant is the only surviving son of the late Col. H.G. Grant and of Mrs I. Grant, Balnespick, Tomatin, and his house is at Auchenfroe, Nairn. He was awarded the M.C. when serving with his regiment, The Seaforth Highlanders, in Palestine in 1936, and won the D.S.O. in 1944, gaining a Bar to it in 1945.'

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. He wrote more than 60 plays and is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938), for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film 'Pygmalion' (adaptation of his play of the same name). In 1898, Shaw married Charlotte Payne-Townshend whom he survived. They settled in Ayot St Lawrence in a house now called Shaw's Corner. In 1925 he was staying in Thurso; having been ill his wife had taken him to Caithness and then to Orkney for his convalescence, and it is probable this image dates from that time. Shaw died in Ayot St Lawrence, aged 94, from chronic problems exacerbated by injuries he incurred by falling from a ladder.
