Picture 4824 of George Dempster is it possible to see this portrait and where does it hang? Comment left on 19 February 2023 at 03:52 by Mr Stephen J Dempster The portrait was gifted to Forfar Town Council which is now Angus Council. It may be worth getting in touch with Angus Council because the portrait might well be hanging in Forfar Town Hall.
