B1MS,
LINLITHGOW*
May E5uii 1936,
My dear Cxauson,
Just a line to ask if you would kindly
send me a programme of the Shaii£}i f s iiioveinents as soon
as it is settled. In particular 1 should like to know
(i) the date of the Investiture and (li) whether he will
be coming to Scotland.
if he comes North, 1 would suggest that,
even if he is no longer a Government guest, it would be
greatly appreciated if Government would ask the Lord
provost of Edinburgh and the Provost of Linlithgow to
show him some informal courtesy. If they could be put
into touch with me, 1 would gladly help them. I had
thought of his seeing the Castle, St, Giles and parliament
Hall ^n Edinburgh and the palace in Linlithgow (after a
meal with us here). 1 know that he would be delighted
if the Railway Authorities woula take him across the
Forth Bridge slowly in an inspection trolley and then
return below the bridge in the ferry. Possibly Stewarts
and Lloyds would show him their works at Coatbridge.
Yours sincerely,
(SI).) G. Loch.
About this item
- Content
Documents in this file relate to planned (and actual) visits made by Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to other states between 1930 and 1936.
The majority of the documents in the file relate to Hamad's official visit to Great Britain in June 1936. The rationale behind his visit and the practicalities required to arrange it are discussed in detail. An official pamphlet of Hamad's itinerary while on the trip is contained on f.156.
The file also contains correspondence after the trip had been successfully completed and Hamad had returned to Bahrain. This includes discussion of an (untrue) rumour that Hamad had married a Scottish woman while in London that was published by a newspaper based in Beirut.
