The last engagement on May 10 was in Scotland; a musical soiree at Blair Castle, the home of the Duke of Atholl, chairman of the Institution.

The Duke of Kent is seen here with the Duke of Atholl and (1) the late Guy Bassett- Smith, a member of the organising committee who sadly died shortly afterwards while on holiday in Skye. The musical entertainment for the soiree was provided without charge by Bill McCue, who sang operatic arias and Scottish songs interspersed with anecdotes from his own experience.

The evening, which was greatly enjoyed, was organised by Mrs Margaret Hewitt and her committee.
