Princess Anne travels to Scotland following Prince William and Kate's brief visit
The Princess Royal travels all over the UK and overseas for her public engagements, and she was back up in Scotland on Tuesday – just days after the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the King and Queen at church.
Princess Anne, 74, attended a Food and Farming Day Solsgirth Home Farm in Dollar and she also visited Hugh Black and Sons Limited butchers in Stirling.
Footage shared by a neighbouring boutique, Stons Stirling, showed the royal dressed in a red jacket and black trousers, as she emerged from her car and was greeted by His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk (Mr Alan Simpson).
Anne paid a visit to the independent butchers in her role as President of the Scotch Chef's Club.

The royal family's love of Scotland
Balmoral Castle has been the Scottish home of the royal family since it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852, having been first leased in 1848.
The late Queen Elizabeth spent her annual summer break in the Highlands, with the estate boasting 50,000 acres for walks, picnics and shooting parties.
When staying at Balmoral, the royals regularly attend church at Crathie Kirk, where Princess Anne married second husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence in 1992.
The Prince and Princess of Wales met at the University of St Andrews in Fife in 2001 – where Lady Louise Windsor is currently studying for her English degree.
