The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Scotland for a two-day visit, with engagements focusing on mental health.
The trip is part of a UK-wide tour for the couple to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year.
The visit comes after Prince William and Prince Charles were jointly given the authority to open Parliament on behalf of the Queen yesterday, after she pulled out of the event due to mobility problems.
