Nonth and went as far south as
Cot•k. The beautiful lakes of Kil-
larney, of world-wide fame for their
loveliness, were visited and many
other lovely nature scenes in the
south and in, the north of Ireland.
Hurrying back from the south of
Ireland Mr, Kerr was in the city of
Belfast for the visit of the king and
queen and was. within a fen- yards
of them as they passel. He took
some snaps of the royal procession
and some of these have been made
into glides. He was deeply moved,
by the unbounded enthusiasm with
which the king and queen were re-
ceived in Belfast, and the impres-
sion was deepened of what a large
place the monarchy accupies in the
life of the Empire, for in mane
other parts of the Empire Mr, Kerr
has seen as a living power the deep
respect cherished for the throne.
Visiting in Scotland he toured the
Trossachs where nature has charms

in the old Brig -O -Door and visited,

parents are buried.
He visited the Sent; country,
and Abbotsford House, where Sir
Walter lived and wrote formed a
mote interesting stopping place.
The rooms are filled with a variety
of things' that earry one back to the
great Scottish writer, and the
various Interests he had. Dryburgh
Abbey where Sir Walter Scott and
Field Marshall Earl Haig are buried
was visited, and Mr. Kerr was' very
much impressed with the plain
little white crow that merle; the
res.tiug place of the great: solldier.
Edinbna'gh he found packed full
of interest, and he visited St. Giles'
Cathedral, the Castle, Jelin Knox's
House; Holy -rood Palace and the
