Quite apart from the reputation of being, perhaps, the most famous deer-stalker of her sex - she has been known to kill six stags in succession with as many shots - Lady Breadal-bane has many other claims to distinction. She is a typical grande dame, and in her time has been quite the most notable of Liberal hostesses. Her ladyship is a daughter of the late Duke of Montrose, sister of the present Duke and of Lady Greville - better known, perhaps, as Lady Violet Greville. She married the Marquis - himself a keen sportsman - in 1874, but there are no children of the marriage. In her book, " The High Tops of Black Mount," the Marchioness has given some remarkable descriptions of her deerstalking experiences. She is also an expert angler, while it was " Dizzy" who once said, apropos of her skill as a whip, that she drives " like a poem." At Taymouth Castle, Lord Breadalbane's Perthshire seat, the Marchioness possesses a fine private dairy, and it was there that the late Queen Victoria tried her hand at butter-making many years ago. At Taymouth, too, the Marchioness has established a school for orphan boys. The best of these she sends to the university.
