Visit to the Court of the Lord Lyon
Miss Jean Brodie famously told her set, 'If I were to receive a proposal of marriage from the Lord Lyon King of Arms I would decline it.' The Society is visiting this famous Court on Thursday 23rd of March at 2 pm. They can accommodate 15 of us, so please put your name down soon. Email gewylie@btinternet.com for a place. We will meet at the gate of New Register House just before 2 pm. (If you stand at the front door of the Balmoral Hotel and look straight ahead, it's the building ahead of you at the top of the lane.)
