PASSAGIUM REGINAE The - Royal Dunfermline

The latter picture, which shows the 42nd Highlanders advancing across the
Alma to attack of the Great Redoubt, was constructed with Sir Arthur‟s aid,
and he appears in it as an ensign, carrying the Queen‟s Colour.
It is sad to think that there is now no heir to the baronetcy, and that this
illustrious family is doomed to extinction. Sir Arthur died in 1904, having
been predeceased by his only son in 1885, and by the latter‟s only child, an
infant of four, a year later. Lady Halkett, who married Sir Arthur in 1856,
celebrated her ninety-first birthday in December 1928 still survives, and with
her two daughters resides at ancient Pitfirrane.
