From the Collection of LORD SEAFORTH OF BOURNE CASTLE. Presented in 1951 to the LEEDS ARCHERS. Founded 1857.", span 123cm. **The seat of the Earls and Lords of Seaforth, and the chiefs fo the Clan Mackenzie, was at Brahan Castle. Bourne is probably a corruption of Brahan. Also the Leeds Archers founding date of 1857 is incorrect, it should read 1848.
