Their arrival was announced by the guns of the battery saluting his Lordship as he drove to the Caledonian Hotel. The town was tastefully decorated throughout the day, with colours fly- ing all round the bay. 'On Saturday morning, his Lordship and Lady embarked on board the Dol- phin steamer, at seven o'clock, for Staffa and Iona, accompanied by hi'Dougall of M'Dougall, a very gallant officer in her Majesty's naval service, the representative of a family amongst the very oldest Scotland can boast of.
