Jane Morrison was born in Lochinver, Assynt, the daughter of Rev. Murdo Morrison and Christina McInnes. She was called up at 17 during the war to do work of national importance and was posted to Inverness. She later volunteered to go to London to relieve the war-weary girls working in the same vocation. Jane spent the remaining war years in London and in 1947 she won Miss Scotland. Jane took up modelling afterwards and walked the catwalks of London, Paris and New York. She married Walter Landauer, the Viennese pianist (1910-1983) who performed with Marjan Rawicz, and accompanied them on their world tours of Australia, South Africa and America.

Clementine Ogilvy Hozier (1885-1977). On 12th September 1908, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, she married seasoned Parliamentarian Winston Churchill. In 1946 she was appointed a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, becoming Dame Clementine Churchill GBE.

In May 1965, she was created a life peer as Baroness Spencer-Churchill of Chartwell in the County of Kent. She sat as a cross-bencher, but her growing deafness precluded her taking a regular part in parliamentary life. She died in Princes Gate, Knightsbridge, London of a heart attack in 1977. She was 92 years old and had outlived her husband by almost 13 years. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.

Joe Corrie (1894-1968) was a Scottish miner, poet and playwright best known for his radical, working class plays. He was born in Slamannan, Stirlingshire but his family moved to Cardenden in the Fife coalfield when Corrie was still an infant and he started work at the pits in 1908. Shortly after the First World War, Corrie started writing. His articles, sketches, short stories and poems were published in prominent socialist newspapers and journals. T.S Eliot described him as 'the greatest Scots poet since Burns.' He died in Edinburgh in 1968. Many of Corrie's poems, including 'I Am the Common Man' have been set to music. In 2013, The Joe Corrie Project: Cage Load of Men - a collection of poems set to contemporary and traditional music - was released. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.
