MEMOIR OF SIR HENRY YULE 1828-35.
to lend his children, as a picture-book, a folio Arabic translation
of the Four Gospels, printed at Rome in 1591, which contained
excellent illustrations from Italian originals.10 Of the pictures
in this volume Yule seems never to have tired. The last
page bore a MS. note in Latin to the effect that the volume
had been read in the Chaldaæan Desert by Georgius Strachanus,
Milnensis, Scotus, who long remained unidentified, not to say
mythical, in Yule's mind. But George Strachan never passed
from his memory, and having ultimately run him to earth, Yule,
sixty years later, published the results in an interesting
article."
Two or three years after his wife's death, Major Yule
removed to Edinburgh, and established himself in Regent's
Terrace, on the face of the Calton Hill.12 This continued to be
Yule's home until his father's death, shortly before he went to
India. " Here he learned to love the wide scenes of sea and
land spread out around that hill —a love he never lost, at
home or far away. And long years after, with beautiful
Sicilian hills before him and a lovely sea, he writes words of
fond recollection of the bleak Fife hills, and the grey Firth of
Forth." 13
Yule now followed his elder brother, Robert, to the famous
High School, and in the summer holidays the two made ex-

32 William Yule died in 1839, and rests with his parents, brothers, and many others of his kindred, in the ruined chancel of the ancient Norman Church of St. Andrew, at Gulane, which had been granted to the Yule family as a place of burial by the Nisbets of Dirleton, in remembrance of the old kindly feeling subsisting for generations between them and their tacksmen in Fentoun Tower. Though few know its history, a fragrant memorial of this wise and kindly scholar is still conspicuous in Edinburgh. The magnificent wall-flower that has, for seventy summers, been a glory of the Castle rock, was originally all sown by the patient hand of Major Yule, the self-sowing of each subsequent year, of course, increasing the extent of bloom. Lest the extraordinarily severe spring of 1895 should have killed off much of the old stock, another (but much more limited) sowing on the northern face of the rock was in that year made by his grand-daughter, the present writer, with the sanction and active personal help of the lamented General (then Colonel) Andrew Wauchope of Niddrie Marischal. In Scotland, where the memory of this noble soldier is so greatly revered, some may like to know this little fact. May the wall-flower of the Castle rock long flourish a fragrant memorial of two faithful soldiers and true-hearted
Scots.
