Desssumn.--On Saturday we announced the arrival
of her Majesty at Dunkeld, and gave a brief account
of the magnificent reception prepared for her by Lord
Glenlyon sand the Duchess of Athol. The following
are additional particulars :
.
As estuas seven o'clock on Wednesday morning
the tie assembled assembled from all parts of the
Rini.Yr eztates2 Were aroused_ from their encamp-
by a discharge of ordnance, and shortly after-
wards went through the exercises to be observed at
the reception of the Royal guest.
By 'eleven o'clock all the Highlanders of the diffe-
renc clans, gathered flora the properties of M'lnroy,
of Lude; Mr. Stuart Alston, of Urrard and Kila-
krunky; oge Mr. Sandiman, of Bouskied ; Mr. Butler, of
alielly; Mr. Stewart Black, of Ballykelly ; Mr.
-
s sir, of Kendrogan ; and the men of Tully-
? minch (Sir R. Dick's estate), &c., had congregated.
Theme was a party of Highlanders under the
corn-
inand of the Duke of Leeds, who headed them as Via-
▪ count Dunblane, the Noble Duke's title in the peerage
of Scotland.
The Duke of Leeds and the Hon. Captain James
Murray, brother of Lord Glenlyori, were in the full
garb of their clans, and there were, with the foresters,
above 700 men in the beautiful costume of the High-
lands, which, it is needless to say, contributed highly
i; to enhance the liveliness of the scene, and render the
ensemble truly magnificent.
The Queen'S body guard was solely composed of
the Athol men, with claymores and targets, number-
, ing 150 ;- and in addition there was a company of the
same clan, of about 100 men, armed with the once
f▪ ormidab!e and now effective Lochaber axe.
That fine body of men was headed by their chief-
tain, Lord Glenlyon, and the Hon. Captain Murray
and Captain Drummond.
tiveT h:!loatihrders.Highlanders were headed by their respec-
With respect to the fete, a spacious marquee, 64 feet
long by 20 wide, was provided, the interior of which
was lined with scarlet and white draperies tastefully
festooned, with corresponding rosettes. It was
boarded, and covered completely with crimson cloth.
The pillars supporting the open part of the tent com-
manding a view of the ruins of the ancient cathedral
ando the fir-clad mountains that form the background
choicest
the charming picture, were entwined with the
flowers, and otherwise ornamented. At the
east end of the pavilion there was an enormous mirror
framed with flowers. In the centre was the refresh-
ment table, laid out in a style of elegance in every
respect becoming the Royal reception. Gold orna-
mental plate with fruit and flowers was arranged along
the table, and the entertainment was altogether of
this, most recherche character.
The Master of Strathallan Colonel Hay, and a nu-
merous party of the neighbouringY
gentry, were on
the grounds, as also the officersofthe 42d High-
landers, &c.
At the west end of the grounds were the numerous
pavilions occupied by the Athol men, in frontof
Which they were formed in double file.
Long before the hour at which the Queen's arrival
was
W expected, the generally quiet town of Dunkeld
as full of bustle and activity, its limited population
being more than trebled by the influx of strangers
from all the surrounding villages for many miles
around.
..,At ten minutes to one o'clock her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, in one of the Royal
carriages, escorted by a party of the 6th Dragoons or
'Carbineers, and followed by the members of their
households and the Duke and Duchess of Buccleush,
Earl of Aberdeen, Sir R. Peel, &c., in several car-
s .
llages, passed Birnam Wood, so famous for its con-
nection with the fate of Macbeth, and passed along
s the north road over the Tay.
_ The Queen and Prince had for some distance be-
1-.ore entering Dunkeld stood up in their open carriage
L order that they might survey the beautiful scenery.
The Royal progress through Dunkeld was received by
all those marks of esteem peculiar to an orderly and
contented people, and the collected thousands were
not backward in giving those tokens of loyalty to a
Queen so deserving of their devotion.
It was about a quarter past one when the Queen
and Prince and the noblemen and ladies in the Royal
suite reached the grounds, when a salute of 21 guns
was fired from Stanley-hill, and the Royal standard
was subsOtuted for our national ensign on the tower
of the venerable cathedral.
The Highlanders received her Majesty with all
honours, the pipers at their head playing a salute.
Lord and Lady Glenlyon received her Majesty and
Prince Albert, in the absence of the Duchess of
Athol, whose advanced age and consequent infirmities
precluded all possibility of her Grace doing the duties
of hospitality on the auspicious occasion.
In the magnificent marquee appropriated for the
dejeuner, covers were laid for 34, and at the table
were observed her Majesty the Queen and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, Lord and Lady Glenlyon,
the Duchess of Norfolk, Earl and Countess of Kin-
, noul and Lady Louisa Hay, Duke and Duchess of I
Puccleuch Easl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Bart.,
Earl of Liverpool, Earl of Morton, Lord Frederick
Pitzclarence, Hon. Captain James Murray, Hon. Miss
Paget, Major-General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, Mr.
George E. Anson, &c.
The weather was remarkably propitious for the
fete, which passed off with an eclat rarely witnessed
in that, part of Scotland.
During the Queen's visit her Majesty and Prince
Albert passed in review the Highland corps. The
Royal tent was lined with the picked men of the Athol
elan, and a handsome young man, Alexander Wiser-
son, of Blair Athol, in the Highland costume, had the
honour of being selected by Lord Glenlyon to wait
on her Majesty.
The Royal visitors remained about two hours, for
to t:he Queen and Prince went over the romantic grounds
view the sublime and beautiful scenery inwhich the
Duchess's seat is embosomed.
_ After expressing themselves highly gratified with
the hospitality of Lord and Lady Glenlyon, the Queen
and Prince took their departure amidst the hearty
cheers of the lusty Highlanders, the warm and pro-
longed applause of the spectators, and the roaring of
cannon, for Taymouth Castle, the Marquis of Bread-
albane's princely seat, near Kenmure.
The Royal route from Dunkeld was by way of
Bat he
and Aberfeldy. An escort of cavalry,
under the command of Captain Jones, attended the
Royal cortege from Dunkeld half-way to Aberfeldy,
when they were relieved by a troop under the corn-
m and of Lieut. Cocksedge. At Aberfeldy another
escort awaited under Lieut. Proyse, on whom devolved
the honour to escort the Queen and Prince to Tay-
mouth Castle.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert reached Taymouth
Castle precisely at 20 minutes to 6 o'clock.
TAYMOUTH CASTLE.
un arriving at Taymouth from Dunkeld, a most
animated scene presented itself, the demesne of the
Noble Marquis being studded with the encampments
of not only his numerous companies of Highlanders,
but also those of the 92d Highlanders, now stationed
at the Castle to perform the sentry duties during the
B°..lourn of her Majesty.
At the lawn, fronting the entrance to the Castle,
above 300 of the Breadalbane clan, in their Highland
dresses, and a numerous party of' the Menzies clan,
kith the gay tartans of their chieftain, the venerable
Sir Niel Menzies, Bart., with his arms proudly em-
..ls_lazoned, borne by his standard-bearer, were assem-
b
led, and arranged in double columns in the order
they Were to receive the illustrious visitors. On the
lawn a square was made by the boatmen of the Tay,
Q4Oll1-lan bearing a flag of signals, and in the centre
ss_l.-s a guard of honour of the 92d Highlanders, and
file fine band of that regiment in the rear.
The remarkably fine body of Highlanders was com-
manded by the Marquis of Breadalbane in person,
noverian babited in a splendid Highland costume of the most
costly description.
