The Royal family certainly doesn't go to Scotland to enjoy warm, bosky days. When the Duchess of Cornwall, the former Camilla Parker Bowles, led a charity walk around Loch Muick, on the Balmoral Estate, in early September 2006, she and all the other walkers put up with typically wet and blustery British weather. Worrying about one's hairdo doesn't go very far at Balmoral.
