This portrait of John Mackintosh, by Sir Henry Raeburn, was presented to the town of Inverness by a relative of John Mackintosh in November 1897. John Mackintosh of Aberarder was Provost of Inverness from 1794 to 1797 and from 1800 to 1803. The following extract, taken from 'Culloden Moor and the Story of the Battle' by Peter Anderson (published Stirling, Mackay, 1920), refers to Provost Mackintosh: 'Being an infant of eighteen months at the time of the Prince's stay at Inverness, he had been sent with his nurse, to be out of the way, to a house somewhere in the neighbourhood of Culloden. A few days after the battle a party of dragoons had gone into the house in the nurse's absence, and after pillaging the house, they placed the cradle, with the infant in it, on the fire.
