Aberdeenshire council

A message from Provost of Aberdeenshire Cllr Bill Howatson: "It is with sadness that we learned today of the passing of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.

 

"Prince Philip was a regular visitor to Aberdeenshire and found many moments of peace in our landscapes and scenery. The area has such strong connections to the Royal family I know that his passing will be mourned locally, nationally and internationally.

 

"I would like to pass my sincere condolences to the family of His Royal Highness, on behalf of the people of Aberdeenshire."
