		Commenting from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Brian Lang, Chair of the Committee for Scotland, said: “There is no more fitting portrait for the entrance to Kelvingrove than a man who brought an exciting cultural renaissance to the city over half a century ago, a renaissance which continues today in the transformation of Kelvingrove.

		Yesterday his daughter, Margaret Wilson, 83, said her father would have been proud to have his portrait in the gallery, but would have been most pleased to have been remembered for its collection of French Impressionist paintings instead of the Dali.
		The portrait, which has remained in his family until now – hanging in the family dining room – was either commissioned by Honeyman or perhaps done by Hunter in gratitude for all his help.
