The prince was the Duke of York, and at his side stood the Duchess. With them was a des- cendant of the famous Marquis of Graham, Lady Helen Graham.

It was an interesting little royal vignette with a piquant historical Asyour.

The incident occured on a tour of the north end of Skye by-the Duke and Duchess, who are spend- ing the last day of their short stay at Dunvegan Castle with MacLeod of MacLeod before returning to- day to Braemar via Kyle of Lo- chalsh.

The party left Dunvegan shortly after breakfast and travelled two

They came to the ruins of Dun- tulm Castle, which was the home of the MacDonalds of Skye before Armadale Castle was built. Dun- tuim stands on'a promontory close to the rock-bound shores of the Dorth coast of Skye." The Duke and Duchess walked among the runs and were told the story of "the castle.

DisDUNVEGAN'S HIGHLAND BALL

The road to Uig is an old, nar- row, Highland track dented with deep potholes. The progress of the cars was slow. Coming over the crest which looks down on Bay the royal party saw the mag- nificent spectacle of the patch- work quilt of crafts golden with cut corn stretched far below them. Towards the sea was the imposing headland of Idrigal Point. For a w minutes the cars were stopped to allow the royal party to admire the panorama of Skye landscapes.

It was now late in the after noon and the royal cars

were. turned towards Dunvegan Castle, which was safely reached after a splendid run,

There was an informal, Highland ball at the castle last night. The guests, in addition to the house party, included most of the prin- cipal landowners of Skye and their shooting parties.
