Prince Charles’ Scottish heritage is an important part of his life, as it is with his mother the Queen and as it was with the Queen Mother, who hailed from an ancient aristocratic Scottish family.
Each summer the Queen makes the journey to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, her official residence in Scotland, for a week of engagements celebrating Scottish culture, history, and achievement.
She is reportedly never happier than at the haven of Balmoral, where the Royal family spends each August and September riding, fishing and walking and where the Queen hosts an annual Ghillies Ball for staff.
Prince Charles and Camilla spend a lot of time in Scotland too, and in recent months the pair have taken part in quite a number of high profile engagements across the nation.
For example, in mid-September, they paid a visit to the Scottish coastal village of Garlieston, Wigtownshire in Dumfries and Galloway where they tried their hand at lawn bowls before heading to a local pub for a drink.
The Scottish port played an important role in preparations for D-Day; temporary portable structures known as Mulberry Harbours were secretly planned, tested and developed in the village in the lead-up to the events of 1944.
Prince Charles always likes to dress appropriately for the occasion and he paid tribute to his hosts in a smart red and green kilt, which he paired with more and smart knee socks. Meanwhile, Camilla similarly opted for tartan in the form of a white check dress - and added a grey blazer to complete her look.
She was gifted a bouquet of colorful flowers as she was greeted by local children who lined the streets. Later that day, the Royal handed her black bag to her husband to hold as she tried her hand at lawn bowls before he headed to a pub and was pictured enjoying a pint of Guinness.
