...Committee was superseded by the Appointments Office, which receives the applications and recommendations. Since then tremendous strides have been made. In 1904-05, 240 permanent positions were filled and 873 temporary positions, and in 1905-06, 444 permanent and 1085 temporary positions; the figures for 1906-07 are not yet available. In 1906, E. H.

He tells the truth, unmasking the pretensions of Ardtornish for example; yet he does not despise the charming baseless tales which cling about many of the ruins, and which are more prized by the average tourist than is the truth. Occasionally, as in the case of Dunstaffnage, he exaggerates the grandeur or strength of a place: this castle does not at present rise sheer from the sea-cliff, and but for a garden wall it is quite easy to walk around...
