Edinburgh, March 10.
The patriotism of the Scot is proverbial, and in London this spirit has been intensified by the activities of many societies, notably by the Scottish Clans Association. These societies have done much good service in the way of providing channels for social intercourse and the support of Scottish charities. But of late it has been felt that something more central than these societies should be provided, a rallying place which will always be open to all Scots. The proposal to establish a London Scottish Club has therefore been warmly received. Little difficulty indeed will be experienced in ea-rolling an initial membership of 1600. When first suggested, the club was intended for the use of members of the London Scottish Territorial regiment; but this did not meet the desires of the average London Scot. The original scheme has therefore been greatly extended. The club will be open to al! who can lay claim to Scottish nationality Negotiations have been opened for the acquisition of commodious premises in the vicinity of Victoria. And Scots abroad will be interested to know that they can become members on the payment of a small subseription.
