Saturday last for Perthshire, highly delighted with the kind
patronage and liberality of -their Chieftain, the Right Hon_
Lord Gwydyr. Since the arrival of the clan in Edinburgh,
upon the present happy occasion, they haire formed a conspicu--
ous part of the different processions ; they are a set of fine-look-
ing robust Highlanders, handsomely equipped by their Chief in
the true Highland garb, and bearing their ancient badge=--a
bough of holly. On his Majesty's landing at Leith, they were
stationed next the Royal carriage, and so soon as his' Majesty
ho-:f: taken his seat, the leader of the clan went up to his
Majesty, and in name of the Chief, welcomed his Majesty
to the Highlands of Scotland, which expression of loyal
attachment his Majesty was pleased to acknowledge in the
most gracious manner. In the evening the clan deposited their
banners at the Chieftain's hotel, after which they, through their
leader, received the thanks of the chieftain for their alacrity in.
assembling to meet him in Edinburgh to welcome his Maje Sty,
havhig started from Drummond Castle on six hours' notice, and
Llso his entire approbation of their conduct while in Edinburgh,
accompanied with a hearty Highland invitation to repair, on
their return, to Drummond Castle, to a dinner and ball' on
Tuesday first, the 27th of August, whither his Loidship has
