KATE Middleton today paid a touching tribute to those she met on her Scotland tour – with a thank you card she painted herself.
The Duchess of Cambridge sent out the work of art to the “people, communities and organisations” she and Prince William visited in Scotland this week, thanking them for making her trip “so special”.

It features an impressive sketch of St Andrew’s, which Kate completed in 2002 while studying History of Art at university – and where she met William a year before.
Inside, the sweet postcard reads: “To the people, communities and organisations we visited and heard from; and those who stopped to wave and make our return to Scotland so special – thank you!”
The incredible drawing was shared on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s official Instagram this afternoon, with royal fans quick to comment on Kate’s skills.
“The Duchess can draw!!! She’s amazing! Is there a thing she can’t do?” one wrote.
Another commented: “Photography AND sketching talent?! Remarkable.”
Someone else added: “The Duchess of Cambridge is so talented”.
It comes after Kate and William spent a week in Scotland this week, taking a “trip own memory lane” to where they met at St Andrew’s University back in 2001.
The royal couple returned to St Andrews in Scotland, where they first met as students 20 years ago, before making a detour to Anstruther Fish Bar.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were said to be “regulars” at the chippy when they studied at St Andrews University.
They popped in to say hello and staff and ate their haddock and chips on a bench by the harbour before returning for ice cream.
“Fast-forward to this afternoon and you can imagine our excitement when we had the privilege of welcoming back the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (or, to give them their official Scottish titles… The Earl and Countess of Strathearn) to Anstruther Fish Bar.
A post on the Anstruther Fish Bar Facebook page read: “We can hardly believe it’s almost 20 years since we last had the honour of frying up some Scottish haddock and chips for, our then regular customers, Prince William and Catherine Middleton, while they were students at St Andrews University.
“Their Royal Highnesses have been in the East Neuk of Fife today and surprised us by ending their visit with a takeaway fish supper, which the Duchess told us, was a lovely ‘trip down memory lane’.
“They enjoyed the whole takeaway experience, as most visitors to Anstruther do, sitting on a bench by the harbour, while no doubt keeping a watchful eye out for the local, hungry seagulls!
“The Duke thanked us for the fish and chips and made a point on telling Andrew that they were just as good, if not better than he remembered from his student days.”
Speaking of their trip during an event, Kate said: “It’s been brilliant, we’ve had such a lovely welcome from everyone so it’s nice to come back.”
