MISCELLANEA.

 

 

Lord Salvesen granted decree of divorce at the instance of Rose Edith Kelly or Skerett or Crowley against her husband Edward Alexander Crowley, of Boleskine, Inverness-shire. The parties may be remembered in Hongkong, which they visited in 1906. Crowley, although not believed to be a Scotsman, was domiciled in Scotland. "He used to wear the kilt, and that sort of thing," said his wife, took the name of Alister Macgregor, and even assumed the title of “Lord” Boleskine from his estate, "most of which was perpendicular." One witness described him as appearing at Strathpeffer in the “Macgregor tartan, which was very bright;” on which Lord Salvesen remarked, “Personally, I never could get up any admiration for the Macgregor tartan from an artistic point of view, although its associations are romantic.”
