KING GEORGE IN KILTS
VISIT TO BRAEMAR GAMES HIGHLANDERS’ WELCOME (United Service) LONDON, Friday. A gathering of 30,000 Highlanders welcomed King George in the vast natural amphitheatre at the opening of the Braemar Games. The King wore a Balmoral bonnet and kilt and a Stuart tartan plaid thrown over his shoulder. The Queen and the Duke and Duchess of York were also present, as also was Mr. Rudyard Kipling, who is a guest of the King at Balmoral. The Highlanders and King’s men, with their Lochaber axes gleaming in the sun as they lay aslant their broad shoulders, led a parade. The “Pibroch of Donald Dhu,” that ancient, rousing song of the hills which of old time summoned the clansmen to council, was played by marching pipers.
