Islay House, residence of Hugh Morrison, the Laird of Islay. Both Mr. Morrison and his wife, Lady Mary, were of the greatest help to the Red Cross in its work of rescue and recovery. Mr. Morrison placed his entire estate and all his employees at the service of the Red Cross, and both he and Lady Mary were constantly on the scene. The ground for the Otranto cemetary was selected and donated by Mr. Morrison. It will be remembered that he was also one of the principal figures in the similar work after the Tuscania tragedy
