SHANDON – PRESENTATIONS AT HYDROPATHIC
Mr Ralph Munro on leaving Shandon Hydropathic to take up the management of the Braid Hills Hotel, Edinburgh, was made the recipient of a massive gold hunting-lever keyless watch and chain by the visitors to this famous health resort.
The subscribers to the testimonial who having on frequent visits to Shandon experienced many obliging and courteous offices at Mr Munro’s hands, desired to offer hearty congratulations on the occasion of his marriage and of his appointment in a new capacity and wider sphere; and thus bore testimony of their appreciation of his sterling worth and ability.
His fellow-servants also to show their goodwill and high esteem and respect for him, made him a presentation of a handsome marble timepiece with a suitable inscription as a token of their good wishes for one who had ever treated them with consideration and respect.
Mr Munro is a Sutherland man, and many in the north no doubt will be glad to hear of his further success.
