Gainesville Daily Sun, Florida, January 7, 1905

From clanmunro.org.uk: In the 14th and 15th Centuries the Munros of Foulis like many other landowners held their land from the Crown for nominal rents such as a silver penny or a pair of Parisian gloves. An 18th Century tradition concerning the family relates that the rent for Ben Wyvis was a bucket of snow or snowball payable to the Crown on mid summer day to cool the Monarch’s wine should it be demanded. This no doubt alluded to the fact that the snow never melts in the northern conies of Ben Wyvis at that time part of Foulis Estate.

What this article fails to mention is that Lois Sturt supposedly had a passenger in the car when she was pulled over - the Prince of Wales, future King Edward VIII.

The lower image, from the Springfield Missouri Republican, August 31, 1924, shows the future king playing “Chasing Clues” and slumming with a Tallulah Bankhead.
