QuoteOn Monday, the Duke of Cambridge, otherwise known as the Earl of Strathearn in Scotland, visited Stirling Castle. As Patron of Thin Red Line Appeal, the Duke toured the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum which is situated in the castle.
Upon his arrival, he was presented with the keys to the castle. He viewed museum exhibits and met with the cadet force linked to the unit, veterans, and current service members. He also met Appeal Presidents, Trustees, and other guests. Furthermore, he also signed the visitor's book.
His presence in Scotland was to launch a multi-million-pound development project to restore the museum, as it was granted Heritage Lottery Funding status. Whilst there, the Duke gave a speech, defining the history of the Argyll's and the importance of restoring and preserving the museum.
