The Royals have long had close links to Scotland, with the Queen regularly inviting her extended family to spend summers with her there.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge famously met in Scotland while they were both studying at St Andrew's University.
The pair both lived at St Salvator's Hall residence in 2001, but it wasn't until Kate caught Prince William's eye at a charity fashion show in 2002 that they eventually got together.
But did you know that Prince William and Kate also have their own secret Scottish bolthole that they were known to sneak off to during their budding romance as students?
While it may be well known that The Queen adores her home at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, she is not the only one to have a soft spot for the estate.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been seen at Balmoral several times over the years, a place where they can escape for family picnics, fishing and deer-stalking in utmost privacy.
Indeed, the family has their own home there, a three-bedroom cottage called Tam-Na-Ghar.
The couple, who have now been married for 11 years and have three children together, have used the cottage as a retreat since the days when they were both students at St Andrew's University, according to HELLO!.
The beautiful residence was reportedly left to Prince William upon the death of his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, in 2002, and it's been said they have spent some of the happiest days together there.
The house, which sits on the 50,000-acre estate, is so private that there are hardly any photos of it, although we are sure there are some in the family's private photo album.
It is located close to Birkhall, Prince Charles and Camilla's residence on the estate.
According to My London, a royal source told Vanity Fair that the couple stayed at the home in 2019 with their three children. "The Queen has a lot of guests coming and to ease the pressure the Cambridges are likely to stay at the cottage," they said.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also have two other homes in London and Norfolk. Kensington Palace is the family's main base and couple moved into the 20-room Apartment 1A shortly after the birth of Prince George in 2013.
In January 2013, the couple were also allocated Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate by the Queen. Many adaptations were carried out including a new roof, a conservatory, new kitchen and a substantial tree-planting scheme to offer the family more privacy.
However, they are expected to make a permanent move to the Windsor Estate later this year with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis so that they can be closer to The Queen.
