The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay have been on a visit to sites across southern Scotland.
The royal couple stopped off in Garlieston - the village where Mulberry harbours were tested in the run up to D-Day.


They also officially opened a visitor centre at Bladnoch whisky distillery - the most southerly in Scotland.
The duchess then visited Moat Brae in Dumfries, recently opened as a national centre for children's literature.

The couple stopped off at three different locations in Dumfries and Galloway during their visit

A chance to sample the whisky at Bladnoch was also on offer


Large crowds gathered outside the distillery to see the royal visitors

Charles took a close interest in the distilling process

Children also turned out in Garlieston for a chance to meet the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay


The Bladnoch site is Scotland's most southerly whisky distillery

A visit to a local pub - and a pint - was also part of the tour of southern Scotland

Moat Brae opened earlier this year as a centre for children's literature
