Seaforth Highlander portraits
« on: Tuesday 19 January 21 15:10 GMT (UK) »
This is a very long shot, but worth a try. I have recently been doing some research into the town of Crieff, Perthshire during WW1. A contemporary account written by the Reverend Andrew Campbell talks about the troops stationed in the town, primarily men of the Seaforth Highlanders. He also tells the story of a Mrs Nisbet, who offered her services as a portrait artist and drew/painted pictures of 50 or so soldiers, c1915-1916.
I'm just curious if anyone out there had a relative in the regiment and by some chance has a artist's portrait of them, signed Nisbet (or possibly Dempster, which I believe is her maiden name)??? It would be wonderful to see one.
Murray, McKelvie, Smith, Morrison, Latta, McClelland, Manson, Ingram, Cowan

I can't help you with a portrait but here's more details of the artist and where she exhibited.
