EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Queen Elizabeth II is seen accepting a beautiful red rose from Major Michael Campbell during her tour of the Clyde coast resorts in Scotland in 1958. Major Campbell, who was the Captain of Dunstaffnage at the time, presented the rose to Her Majesty as a token rent on behalf of the Duke of Argyll. The Duke of Argyll holds the hereditary title of Keeper of Dunoon Castle for the Sovereign, making this tradition a significant one in Scottish history. The tradition of presenting a red rose as a token rent to the monarch was first inaugurated by James III of Scotland in 1472 when he granted a charter to the Clan Campbell. The rose has since become a symbol of the strong connection between the monarchy and the Clan Campbell, as well as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Scotland. As the Queen tours the resorts along the Clyde, she is greeted with warm welcomes and heartfelt gestures from the local people. The presentation of the red rose by Major Campbell is a testament to the enduring respect and loyalty of the Scottish people towards their monarch. The dark crimson rose, with its vibrant petals and rich symbolism, stands out against the backdrop of the picturesque Scottish landscape, making for a truly memorable image. The Queen's visit to Scotland in 1958 was an important moment in the history of the monarchy and Scottish traditions. This photograph captures a significant moment in that visit, one that highlights the deep-rooted traditions and the strong bond between the monarchy and the Scottish people.
