embellished. The warming and lighting have been 

 greatly improved, and extensive gas and waterworks 

 have been constructed. The original supply of water 

 to the house was from rain-water tanks, that for 

 domestic purposes had to be forced up by horse- 

 power from deep wells. His Grace therefore con- 

 structed waterworks, from which water is forced up 

 to a reservoir upon the hill to the north of Game's 

 Seat, whence it gravitates to the point of supply. 

 In this way a solution has been obtained to a question 

 that had always been a source of anxiety, viz. as to 

 the supply of water in the event of a fire. 



The heirlooms and historical treasures which the 

 house contains, and which might be destroyed by 

 a fire, are such as no purchasing power could 

 replace.
