The announcement was recently made by the Duke of Montrose that lie is selling six islands on Loch Lomond. He declares he will place no restriction on whoever buys them, and adds: "If they want to erect flats or buildings on the Loch Lomond islands that have become famous as a beauty spot, well, they will have every right to do so.” His reason for deciding to sell is the heavy death duties he had to meet on the death of his father, four years age. "I shall be. specially sorry to part with the Island of Inchmurrin, ” said the duke, "as it contains the ruins of one of the oldest castles in Scotland. Every inch of it has historical associations.” Inchmurrin, which is the largest of the islands, is one mile and a half an length, and lias been used as a deer park.
