SCOTS GREET RULER.
CROWDS TURN OUT IN EDIN!
BURGH TO GREET KING.
HoIyrood, Ancient Home ct the

Imperial Pomp.

Edinburgh, Scotland--King George
and Queen Mary arrived In the
Scottish capital and received rous'
ing welcome. The city was bright
with color, the decorations being
the most elaborate that the pres
ent generation Of Scotchmen has
seen.
The way from the railway station to
Holyrood palace was lined with
obelisks, columns, and Venetian masts,
with magnificent triumphal arches at
all vantage points.
On the station platform the lord
provost presented the king with the
keys of the city, made Of silver in
1928 for presentation to Charles /.
Subsequently the procession was
formed and their majesties traversed
streets hedged with cheering Scots to

In anticipation of the royal visit.
Holyrood palace has been only oc-
casionally used as a royal residence
since the time OF James l., who, as
we'll as his predecessors, resided
there almost constantly. Charles L..
Charles H., James H., George W.,
Queen Victoria, and Edward VII. all
paid short visits to the venerable edi-
fee.
The name Of Holyrood as abbey and
palace has been connected with Scot
fish history ever since the days of
Robert Bruce. After it had ceased to
be monastery it became the meet
ing place Of parliaments and state
councils. 1t was the birthplace and
burial ground Of many monarchs. and
has witnessed scenes of great splen-
dor, one Of the most notable of which
was the marriage Of James ~. with
Margaret Tudor, the union of the rep
resentatives of the Thistle and the
Rose, which later brought about the
union of the two countries.
