Wrote on 27th August, 1822 about visit of George IV "Our gaieties I am happy to say is nearly at an end, and the affection, loyalty, good order and dignity of our countrymen on this memorable occasion will never I am sure be effaced from the mind of the King or his friends who accompanied him. He leaves us on the 29th and embarks in his yacht. Robert, James, Charles and their cousins all marched in the processions of the Highlanders fully accoutred in their Highland garb, and looked all I could desire and wish. You may tell our Chief and clansman Mr Drummond that we set our feet to support the ancient House of Concraig." (Castle of Dreams p210)
