Hastings' supporters from the [[Edinburgh]] East India Club and a number of other gentlemen from India gave a reportedly "elegant entertainment" for Hastings when he visited Edinburgh. There was a toast to "prosperity to our settlements in India" and a wish that "the virtue and talents which preserved them be ever remembered with gratitude."<ref>W. M. Gilbert, ed., ''Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century'', Edinburgh, 1901, p. 44.</ref>
