Glasgow we can give only one day to, which should have a week of time, but fifty places of interest we are scheduled to visit in seven weeks be- fore we sail nomeward, so time is precious and we must push forward. No wonder that such speed causes Europeans to call us Americans globe trottersi
 Everywhere we have retained cars or compartments, reserved seats on steam CTS, special coaches or brakes and rooms in tWenty-tHo tourists pensions contracted for, all by previous contract and at lowest who leSale rates, much below regular price.
 Some of the party importune to stay a week in Glasgow, but we must move on This is only the beginning.
 First of all We give a day to the circular trip through the Scotch high lands. boat the length of Loch Lo- mond and Loch katrine and coach along by several smaller lochs from the Tressachs to CalIender. This trip is hampered by the prevalent clouds and mist which hide the summits of Ben Iomond. Ben Venus. Ben Nevis and all other Bens, and shrouds Ellen's Isle and much else
 A cave is pointed out as Rob Roy's prison, also dainty cottage where his wife was born=Helen MacGregor
 Stirling castle is of great historical eRlinence as well as high literally, and the clouds politely rolled away to let us look out upon a. landscape unsur- passed in Britain. Lofty mountains skirts the horizon. The river Allan meanders along far down in the valley below twenty-two miles in a distance of five miles. We look out upon eight famed batt1efields important in Scotch history. We stand at the citadel wall on a rock where Queen Victoria stood when a maiden in 1S42 to gaze upon the same landscape.
 Two King Jam eses were born here-II he of II aseassinated the Earl of Douglass in a room here. and we stand in the easement through which the body was thrown out.
 We reverently bare our heads by the grave of Henry Drummond, who gave te@the world The Greatest in the World and whom we've heard declare the gospel years ago in our own land. Ten years ago when we were here only a small plain slab marked the spot, but his many admirers have replaced Shat by more appropriate monument. Our party stand one after another in the antique pulpit of John Knox, from which he preached his celebrated ser mons which brought upon his head the wrath of royalty. This is carefully kept in Greyfriar's kirk near the cas- Ge.- which dates back to the fourteenth century.
 In Edinburg We stop at Knox's pen sion, kept daintily by three maiden sisters of that name who are grand riieces of John, and are cultured Chris tian ladies.
 It's utterly impossible to mention, much less to describe, the many at fractions historic and modern. of this grand old city. A large Scotch brake conveys us around to the main places of interest. The castle. mounted on it's impregnable hill. first of all Is visited. with its rooms of Queen Mary and of royal regalia. it's military barracks, Queen Margarets chapel the oldest and smallest in Britain Mons Meg" the giant old cannon, etc
 Holyrood palace and the ruins of the abbey adjoining are hastily gone through the portrait gallery, rooms of Queen Mary, Lord Darnley and Charles II, room where Rizzio was murdered and where Charles was crowned Five royal persons lie buried here.
 Arthur's Seat is a high hill behind, nearly thousand feet above Holyrood
