EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken around 1935, we witness a moment of regal inspection as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visit Portree on the picturesque Isle of Skye. The royal couple can be seen strolling amidst a group of scouts, their presence commanding attention from both young and old alike. Dressed in traditional Highland attire, the king dons a kilt while his queen exudes elegance in her royal dress and coat. The image captures not only the monarch's interest in scouting activities but also their dedication to engaging with their subjects across all walks of life. As they stand tall and proud, it is evident that this visit holds great significance for both the royals and the local community. The photograph serves as a metaphor for unity between royalty and commoners during an era marked by social change. It symbolizes the bond between monarchy and people, showcasing how even in remote corners like Skye, no distance was too far for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to connect with their subjects. Preserved through time on a cigarette card from Peter Jackson Ltd. , issued in 1937 as part of "The Pageant of Kingship" series, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of British history. It reminds us that beyond grand ceremonies and formal events, there were moments when kings walked among scouts on distant shores - leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to witness such encounters.
