In 1979 the City of Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove, purchased at auction a gold finger-ring (pi 40b) said to have been found before 1916 on the Isle of Skye (Christie's Sale, 28 Nov 1979, lot 28).I am grateful to Miss Helen Adamson for the invitation to publish this ring and for the information, obtained through Christies from the vendor, that it had originally belonged to a Countess Latour whose farm on Skye had been managed by his cousin's great-uncle who had been presented with it by the Countess on his retirement in 1931.The Countess Vincent Baillet de Latour was of Austrian birth, the daughter of Baron von Ettingshausen, who was married first in 1881 to Norman Macleod of Macleod, 25th chief of that ilk, who died in 1895
