The cuttings cover a wide range of topics, including the marriage of Hugh P Lumsden of Clova to Mary Bellasis in 1904, a lengthy review of Sir Peter Lumsden’s book "Lumsden of the Guides" from the Banffshire Journal in 1899, the marriage of Ernest Francis Lumsden, Balmedie, to Grace C M E Flower by the Bishop of Edinburgh, Sir Peter Lumsden’s spying disguised as a holy man, obituaries of Gen Sir Harry Lumsden, articles about Canadian railways, the murder of Lt G H Lumsden, 13th Bengal Lancers in 1880, Sir Peter Lumsden’s Indian services, and Aberdeen and the Volunteers in 1900. This collection of cuttings provides a valuable insight into the lives of the Lumsden family and their connections to Banffshire, the British Indian Army, and the Canadian Pacific Railway, among other things. The album is particularly interesting for its coverage of Sir Peter Lumsden's British Indian services, which would likely include his work in the Punjab region. This album was part of a large archive of documents and photographs that passed from Sir Peter Lumsden through a branch of the family descended from his brother, General Sir Harry Lumsden. Sir Peter and Lady Lumsden had no children.
