The famous portrait that hangs in the Diamond Jubilee Hall of Major Randle Jackson has gone down south to be restored to it formall glory. When he come back the plan is to get a case made to go over him so he can be protected and kept in exellent condition for everyone to view and enjoy in the Diamond Jubilee Hall.
Major Randle Jackson was the local landowner who owned Swordale House and land around, and decided that the people of Evanton needed a meeting place and told the people of Evanton that he would put up half the money and they needed to raise the other half. Then they built themselves the Diamond Jubilee Hall 1897 was around when it opened. Major Randell Jackson said really involved with the hall and his portrait was donated by his wife to the people of Evanton.
It will be good to see him return to his pride and place on the wall of the Diamond Jubilee Hall.
