Wills and Kate toast Scotland visit

William and Kate sipped a cask-strength single malt at Glenturret distillery near Crieff as they carried out a series of engagements in Perthshire.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have enjoyed a dram at a whisky distillery - and picked up a kilt for baby George - on a trip to Scotland.





They were given a tour of the country's oldest working distillery before bottling their own Glenturret whisky.

They tried the single malt, with William admitting it had "a bit of a kick to it" and Kate declaring it "delicious".

It was the couple's first joint engagement since their tour of Australia and New Zealand last month and their first official visit to Scotland, where they met as students, this year.

They were greeted by crowds of hundreds of excited locals, including many schoolchildren waving Saltires and Union flags.

Established as a single malt distillery in 1775, Glenturret is also blended with other grains and malt whiskies to create The Famous Grouse, one of the world's top five whiskies.
