| Description: | “Edinburgh. With Regal Pageantry. Mr. John Buchan MP - the Lord High Commissioner - as representative of the King - holds Levee and opens the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.” Edinburgh, Scotland. Inspection of ranks of Scottish troops. An open carriage drives away followed by cavalry troops, Buchan appears to be the man seated on the right-hand side of the rear (forward facing) seat. Various dignitaries - many in uniform - walk in procession - John Buchan is probably the one with the white-topped hat accompanied by a female with a fur-trimmed coat. The parading dignitaries walk into building to begin the General Assembly. More shots of parade of dignitaries. N.B. As well as being a successful politician John Buchan wrote novels such as ‘The Thirty Nine Steps’. | |
