THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOT-

LAND.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR
ATHOLL.

We (Post) have just received the following from
our correspondent at Blair Athol' :

BLAIR. ATHOLL, WEDNESDAY, S P.M.

Her Majesty arrived here at a quarter past three to-
day, and was received at the principal entrance of the
Castle by a body of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, at-
tired in the Highland dress, who ran by the side of
the royal carriage from the lodge up to the grand
portico. Her Majesty's arrival was preceded by
two of the royal carriages, containing servants
and baggage, and shortly after three an escort of
Scots Greys, commanded by Captain Griffiths, ap-
peared in sight, together with a travelling chariot
and four horses, containing her Majesty and Prince
Albert. Her Majesty appeared somewhat pale, but
this may be attributed to the effects arising from the
fatigue of a long journey, which her Majesty has,
perhaps, not been able to support so well as usual on
this occasion. The Prince looked remarkably well,
and appeared to have been but slightly incommoded
by the sea voyage. The travelling chariot, with its
Royal occupants, was followed by four other vehicles
containing the Princess Royal, Lord Liverpool, Lord
Aberdeen, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the remain-
ing members of her Majesty's suite, including Lord
Glenlyon, who had fallen in with the Royal cortege
shortly after it left Dunkeld.

On arriving at the principal entrance of the man-
sion, her Majesty was received by .'Lady Glenlyon,
who was accompanied by the Young Master of Glen-
lyon and Mrs. Home Drummond, her Ladyship's
mother. Four companies of forty each, consisting of
his Lordship's clansmen, attired in the Highland
dress, were drawn up by the side of the portico,
the pipers, in full Highland costume, greeting her
Majesty with the pibroch; and the effect of the
native melody as it peeled through the glens and
passes in the distance, considerably enhanced the
interest of the scene. The clansmen were commanded
by Lord Glenlyon, assisted by the Major of the
corps, the Hon. James Murray. The first company
was commanded by Captain Drummond, with his
Lieutenant, the Hon. W. Drummond; the second, by
Captain Charles Drummond, with his Lieutenant, Sir
David Dundas; the third, by Oswald of Dunnikier,
with his Lieutenant, Kier of Kindroggan ; the fourth,
by Stewart of Urrat, with his Lieutenant, Butter of
Fascaly, the owner of the magnificent mansion which
is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in
Scotland, just before entering the pass of Killiecrankie.
Her Majesty appeared much pleased with the mani-
festations of loyalty with which she was greeted; and
after addressing a few remarks to Lady Glenlyon, en-
tered the mansion, accompanied by Prince Albert.
Within a few minutes, however, after the arrival
of the royal party, the Prince came out into the
front of the mansion, accompanied by his noble
host, with Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool,
and Lord Charles Wellesley. His Royal
Highness inspected the Highlanders, keeping his hat
off as he walked through the ranks, a mark of cour-
tesy which will not be unappreciated by those fine
fellows, and which evidently afforded them no smal
gratification. _ _ _

The clansmen then marched round before the
Prince headed by the pipers playing the pibroch
and then her Majesty appeared at the window, and
seemed much delighted at the picturesque appearance
of her Highland subjects.

The royal cortege was received at Dundee with
every demonstration of respect, and proceeded at once,
escorted by the Scots Greys through Cupar Angus
to Dunkeld, where her Majesty remained for a short
period at Grant's Hotel. With the romantic scenery
surrounding this picturesque town her Majesty was
familiar, having been received there by Lord Glen-
lyon the year before last, when visiting Taymoith
Castle. The royal carriages were ordered shortly before
twelve, and her Majesty having re-entered her cha-
riot cast a long look of astonishment and admiration
at the sublime scenery around Birnam Wood, which
is now curtailed of its fair proportion of " leafy
boughs," which we suppose have never sprung up
again since they were lopped off and carried to
Dunsinane by Macbeth's opponents. The carriages
then went on to Moulinearn, from whence her Ma-
jesty was escorted by Lieutenant Phillips, with his
detachment of Scots Greys. The postilions were or-
dered to drive slowly in order to afford her :11ajesty and
the Prince an opportunity of remarking some of the
magnificent objects which burst upon their view at
every turning of the road; on entering the pass
of Killiecrankie, the scene of Claverhouse's exploits
with the battlefield where he closed his usefu
and eventful career, her Majesty ordered the
postillions to walk their horses, and appeared to be
overwhelmed with delight ana admiration at•
the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The carriages
then drove on slowly to Blair Atholl. It is expected
that her Majesty will not leave the mansion during
the afternoon. Lord and Lady Glenlyon have been
invited to join the royal dinner party, which will be
strictly private.
I [is Lordship, with Lady Glenlyon, will occupy
the residence of Captain Macduff, his Lordship's
factor, during the sojourn of her Majesty at Blair
Atholl. Captain Macduff resides in a picturesque
cottage in the grounds of Blair Atholl.
