“here is a large hotel in Perth called the ‘Salutation’-
a good name.
Here, it is said,
Prince Charlie held his headquarters during the ’45’.
It is a good hotel,
a friendly and charming hotel”

was there when Prince Charlie
came to Perth in 1745,

Its spacious dining room,
with the great high-arched window
and musician’s gallery,
is worth seeing.”
