William and Kate greeted by crowds on visit to Scottish charity

The Prince and Princess of Wales were greeted by well-wishers as they arrived for an official engagement in Scotland.

William and Kate, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, arrived at Burghead in Moray on Thursday to meet members of outdoor learning and adventure activity charity Outfit Moray.

The royal couple were dressed for the weather, with Kate wearing a padded jacket and jeans and William in a wax jacket and chinos.

It runs a large range of activities including mountain biking, paddlesports, rock climbing, archery and bushcraft.

William and Kate will later travel to a family-run farm in nearby Forres where they will learn about further efforts being made to support local young people with their mental health.

At Brodiehill Farm, they will meet members of the Lower Speyside Young Farmers group and representatives from Farmstrong Scotland.

The group has recently taken part in the “Are ewe okay?” campaign, led by the Scottish Association of Young Farmer Clubs, encouraging members to talk about mental health and break down stigma associated with the subject.

Farmstrong Scotland is committed to the wellbeing of farmers and rural communities and runs programmes to improve individual mental health and physical wellbeing.

It is expected William and Kate will also meet families who attend regular sessions at the farm’s dedicated play area.

Developed to provide a space for young children to explore and learn, Brodiehill offers an indoor and outdoor area for play where families can focus on and connect with their children.
