On Uniforms

The Duke of Atholl's army of 250 men, only private army in the country, will not be affected by the ban on political uni- forms.

At the Duke's London house a London newspaper representative was told:

"The heading of the Bill makes it quite clear that it is for political uniforms and you can take It quite definitely that the Duke's army, is not concerned,

"The Duke is entitled to maintain it by a royal patent granted to his grandfather by Queen Victoria when she made her first visit to Scotland in 1845."

THE MURRAY CLAN

The army is made up from members of the Murray 'clan who live on the Atholl estates at Blair Atholl, Perthshire.

They come into prominence once a year when the. Duke leads them at the yearly Blair-Atholl gathering. Blair Castle is the Duke's Scottish seat.

The Duke is a descendant of Lord George Murray, the Jacobite general who fought at Culloden in 1740.

He is 05 years old and has many titles.

Ciquel was rescued by Coast Guardsmen,

Sir Lionel Earle, in his memoirs, BLeeding disEASE. stated that in 1922 the. Duke of Atholl offered to march with his Atholl Highlanders to the aid of two friends whom the Duke of Argyll had threatened with im- prisonment.

They were Sir Lionel Earle and Sir Alfred Mond (the late Lord Melchett).
