The Prince of Wales visited Edinburgh to-day, on the occasion of the bicentury of the Royal Infirmary. On his arrival at the Royal Infirmary a large crowd welcomed him, while inside many of Edinburgh’s representative citizens and the managers and heads of the nursing and administrative staffs were presented to him. The Prince visited several of the wards and in the doctor’s room he scratched his name on the table, which bears the name of many distinguished visitors, including those of Their Majesties the King and Queen. On leaving the infirmary His Royal Highness visited the National War Memorial- shrine at Edinburgh Castle. At a luncheon in the City Chamber tho Lord Provost of Edinburgh, proposing the health of the Prince, said that the great scheme of the enlargement of the Royal Infirmary, which was contemplated would cost £500,000. but he thought that the sum would be raised now that His Royal Highness, by his visit, had drawn attention to their great institution.
