castle which still stands was built in
1555 by Sir John Wynne and for

in 1828.
A recent “swan census" taken at

thousand swans live on the Thames
between Oxford and Southwark
Bridge, London. has brought to
mind stories of medieval days when

American tourists have found an-
otlior place of interest to \‘lslt in
Great Britain in Allergeidle Castle,
the Prince of Wales’ Scottish resi-
dence near his father's estate at Bal-
muxal. The particular object of
curious interest is an unpretentious
footprint of, Wales in a concrete
walk made when the royal heir was
seven years old.
The story is that for 24 years the
existence of the boyish footprint was
known only to the Prince and two
servants who Were present when it
was made, but the secret became
known to American tourists last
year. Now this once quiet and al-
most. deserted estate is said to be
swarming with slghtseers and the
castle attendants are kept busy
pointing out the Prince's youthful
pedal mark.
Abergeldle otten was visited by
the Prince and his parents before
the latter became King and Queen
and the tale is that the young
Prince one day bounded across the
turf and on to a newly laid pave-
ment before a nurse and policeman
could stop him.
Last year the policeman broke a
silence of nearly a quarter of a cen-
tury and told the story to a. visiting
American. and. according to an ar-
ticle recently printed in the Daily
Mail with the not unusual exaggera-
tion of news relating to the doings
of American t0urlsts in England.
"from this spark a torch was lit to
be borne acrossthe Atlantic, there
to spread a. flame of gossip from
state to state. And now very few
Americans go sightseeing in Scot-
land without inspecting the Prince’s
footprint."
