Opening of the new Carrol House Orphanage, Island Bank Road, Inverness. The Carrol House Orphanage was officially opened at 3.00pm on Wednesday 26th August 1959 by Lady Maud Baillie CBE (shown here). Eighteen children, cared for by the Highland Orphanage Trust, moved from the old building in Culduthel Road a few weeks previously and settled in to the more compact and up-to-date premises. Robert Gilbert, chairman of the Board of Governors presided at the well-attended ceremony, which was also addressed by Provost Robert Wotherspoon. The matron was Mrs M. Maclean and the two house-mothers were Miss I. Ross and Miss N. Donaldson. A bouquet was presented to Lady Baillie by Heather la Freniere, one of the children in the home.

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. Jane later re-married a French doctor and has spent the last sixty years living between London and Paris. This portrait was taken by Hector G.N. Paterson and is courtesy of Aithne and John Barron.

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. Later, she was awarded honorary degrees by the University of Glasgow and the University of Oxford and later, in 1976, by the University of Bristol. 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.
