The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge begin their two-day visit to Scotland

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will begin a two-day visit to Scotland with engagements focused on mental health.

They will arrive in Glasgow where they will visit a Wheatley Group project. The Duke and Duchess will see firsthand how the group is transforming the lives of vulnerable people and those at risk of homelessness.

William and Kate, known in Scotland as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn, will speak to service users who have benefited from access to employment support to help alleviate the impact of poverty.

You will also visit a newly built property in the Kennishead area and learn about the importance of quality, safe housing.

Homelessness was an important aspect of William’s work.

They will then visit the University of Glasgow, where they will discuss mental health with staff and students before learning about the pioneering work being done by researchers at the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.

Both William and Kate will then meet with the public outside of university.

The engagements will be part of the couple’s UK-wide tour to mark the Queen’s platinum anniversary this year.
