FROM time to time, for many years, strangers visiting the Churchyard of Kilmuir, in the Island of Skye, have complained that no memorial has been placed over the grave of Flora Macdonald. Reference is made to the fact in the last edition of Boswell’s Journal of Dr Johnston’s “ Tour to the Hebrides;” the late Alexander Smith speaks feelingly on the subject in his “Summer in Skye;” many letters have appeared in the newspapers, upbraiding the descendants of Highland Jacobites for this neglect, and -within the last few weeks attention has been drawn to it in the Illustrated London News. Flora Macdonald’s grave has thus acquired a celebrity which, in its present neglected state, is, to say the least of it, undesirable ; and it is evident, from the tone of the public communications on the subject, that the only thing necessary |to remove this reproach from the Highlands is that some one sbopld take a little trouble to collect Subscriptions, and ascertain the wishes of Subscribers as to the form the Memorial should assume. With a view to giving practical shape to the sentiment which has been expressed in so many Macintosh of Macintosh lately requested that subscriptions might be received at the office of the Inverness Courier, and at his instance an advertisement has appeared in that journal soliciting contributions. About £2O has been sent in cash. This money has been paid into an account opened at the"Caledonian Bank, In verness, and the Fund must be dealt with in some form. It is insufficient to carry out what are, no doubt, the wishes of the present subscribers, and there must be many persons, representatives or descendants of old Highland families, as well as other admirers of Flora Macdonald, at home and abroad, who would be sorry not to have had an opportunity of adding a stone to the cairn of one whose name will be for ever associated with the most interesting national event in Highland history In the present stage of the Fund, the subscribers being far apart, it is out of the question to call a meeting to appoint a Secretary and Treasurer. It may be sufficient, iu the meantime, to intimate that contributions will be received by Macintosh of Macintosh, Moyhall, Inverness ; Charles Waterson, Esq., of the Caledonian Bank, Inverness, Scotland ; or by the undersigned ; and, at a later period, the wishes of subscribers will be consulted, either by circular or by public meeting, as to the disposal of the fund. Money may be remitted in postage stamps, by cheque, or by registered letter. W. F. RUSSELL, Bank of New Zealand. April 13.
