On Friday 8th September 2017 we were graced by a Royal Visit from Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Rothesay. The weather brightened up during her visit as we gave her a tour of our store.

Receiving one of our warmest House of Bruar welcomes, The Duchess of Rothesay browsed our Cashmere collection and sampled the delights of our Food Hall, enjoying nothing less than a Royal welcome from our in-store team and visitors on the day.

Following the formalities, Her Royal Highness was escorted through our store with her first stop being our Food Hall, where her taste buds were tempted with our wide selection of local British produce. From here, The Duchess of Rothesay walked through our Menswear Department where she was presented with a gift from Mr Birkbeck and a posy of flowers from Mr Birkbeck's granddaughter Beatrice.
