From Our Own Correspondent.
Edinburgh, Aug. 29.
An official communication has been received by the National Scottish Way Memorial Committee from the Scottish Office notifying the permission of the Cabinet to proceed with the erection of the memorial within the precincts of Edinburgh Castle, subject to the supervision of the Office of Works. Under the scheme passed by the Cabinet "Billings" Building will be converted to the purposes of a Hall of Honour, and an aspidal shrine will be abutted on to the north elevation, but of such a height as to make no material alteration to the existing skyline. The old rubble finish of the walls will be preserved, but the bareness of the existing walla will be relieved by stonework of a dis; tinctly Scottish character. It is understood that the necessary work in connexion with the scheme will commence at an early date.
