This is the ninth page of the Inverness Courier report on the visit of Edward, Prince of Wales, to Inverness on 26 June 1931.
At the Royal Northern Infirmary the Prince opened new radiological and out-patients departments. He visited the children's ward, which was named after his niece, Princess Elizabeth, and the male surgical ward. Brief speeches were made by MacKintosh of MacKintosh, honorary president of the Infirmary, and by Provost MacEwen.
The report mentions all those responsible for making the arrangements for the royal visit and makes special mention of the oak casket in which the Burgess Ticket was placed and of the solid gold key with which the Prince opened the new departments at the Infirmary
