24 MURRAY PLACE, STIRLING Telephone : 3510 A Message from the Provost of Stirling

We in Stirling are delighted you have selected our town this year for the venue of the National Mod of An Comunn Gaidhealach. On behalf of the citizens of the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Stirling, I extend a cordial welcome to you and sincerely hope that you will have a most enjoyable stay in our Burgh. The Mod was last held in Stirling over fifty years ago, and I can assure you after this long absence we certainly will do all in our power to make your stay an interesting and an enjoyable one. Stirling, as you know, renowned as the Gateway to the Highlands, steeped in history and tradition, is an ideal centre and is eminently situated for the holding of the National Mod. I send you my most warm greetings and good wishes for a successful Mod and look forward to having the pleasure of meeting many of you during your visit.

— 5 — For readers

who read

the Scotsman undoubtedly presupposes an ability—even a willingness—to read. Pictures there are, certainly. Excellent ones. And captions too—which agreeably explain. But by and large the Scotsman depends on the written word. But it is the gift of the Scotsman to inform with wit, good humour and compassion. When you read the Scotsman you getfacts without favour, comment without prejudice, informa- tion with a light and lucid touch. It presents even the most ponderous subjects in plain and pleasurable prose. Indeed, the Scotsman is a plain pleasure to read. Daily. AN COMUNN GAIDHEALAGH Patron—Her Majesty The Queen.
