During the Madderty Christmas Fayre the Hall Committee where pleased to welcome the gift of a photo of the Madderty Home Guard unit.
The photo which was taken probably late 1939, early 1940 includes the fathers and grandfathers of many local people who still live in Madderty parish and has been gifted to Madderty Hall by Mr Tony Murray formerly of Dollerie where his family lived for several generations (and where he found the photo).
Liz Smith MSP said:
"It was a pleasure to be at the official hand-over of what is a rather special photo of Madderty Home Guard, most especially because it can now be viewed at the new hall by several people in the village whose fathers, grandfathers and now great grandfathers are in the photo.
“I am extremely grateful to Tony Murray for contacting me and I know the hall committee is delighted with the new acquisition."
