The King and Queen, accompanied by Princess Mary, visited Dundee
on Friday week in continuation of their Scottish tour. Last Saturday they visited Dunblane Cathedral, Stirling Castle, and the ruined palace of Linlithgow. Linlithgow Palace was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, and the King is the first Sovereign of the House of Hanover who has visited it. Lord Rosebery seized the occasion to congratulate the King on exer- cising his Royal functions "in your ancient palace after the lapse of three centuries." On Sunday the King and Queen and Princess Mary attended service in St. Giles's Cathedral, Edinburgh, and on Monday they returned to London. The tour was as striking a success as all the others in which the King has mingled closely with his people, and learned the conditions of industrial life in countless towns.
