We have been reliably informed that the portrait previously posted by us of the Rev James Coutts is not actually the man himself but is a portrait of Reverend David Brown by artist James Coutts Michie. https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/reverend-david-brown-104966 ;
Janelle Byrne is a recent Coutts Society member and the Rev James Coutts was her 4th Great Grandmother's Brother...she spotted the error while working through family history documents.
We thank her profusely for not only pointing out our error but for providing a real photo of the Rev...here he is!
