BEN LOMOND SOLD.
A SPORTSMAN’S PURCHASE. Visited every year by people from all parts of the world* Ben LomOnd, the picturesque Scottish mountain, standing 3192 feet high, on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond, has been sold by the Duke of Montrose. His reason for selling the estate is that the Government has not seen its way to accept land instead of cash for death duties. The property has been in the Montrose family for four centuries. The new owner is Mr Charles M. Collins, of the firm of Edward Collins and Sons, Ltd., of Kelvindale Paper Works, Glasgow, a well-known sportsman who rides to hounds and is prominent in county circles, and who lives at Houston, Renfrewshire. “ Scotsmen need not be afraid that I shall close the mountain to them,” explained Mr Collins, who has bought it and the surrounding estate for shooting purposes. “ I am riot going to change it in the least.”
