  • "Dundee Courier" Monday, 06 Aug 1923, page 3: SCOTTISH SOCIETY WEDDING Admiral's Daughter Weds Lieut.-Commander. Society was well represented at a pretty and interesting wedding in Edinburgh on Saturday. The bride was Miss Muriel Charlie Dundas, eldest daughter of Admiral Sir Charles and Lady Dundas of Dundas, and the bride-groom was Lieut.-Commander John Henry Jauncey, R.N., H.M.S. Walrus. The ceremony, which was attended by about two hundred guests, took place in St. Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh. Miss Dundas was given away by her father. Very charming she looked in a 14th century gown of damask brocade. On her hair was a gorgeous gold diamante fleur-de-lys coronet, and in place of the usual bridal bouquet Miss Dundas bore in her hand a vellum prayer-book. Round her fair neck was suspended a glittering "Bruce" heart of crystal, which fell from a platinum crown of Scotland set with diamonds and emeralds . . .
