Dumfries House has been given a festive makeover ahead of a number of Christmas dining experiences hosted by King Charles' charity.
The 18th century property, near Cumnock in east Ayrshire, has more than a dozen Christmas trees adorned with around 1,000 baubles throughout its rooms, which are also decorated with festive nutcrackers, garlands and wreaths.
The King's Foundation events and tours staff at the estate are anticipating a busy festive season, with around 1,500 guests set to experience candlelit tours, gourmet dining, and traditional festive feasts and banquets.
Revenue raised from dining experiences and tours of Dumfries House is given to the foundation's education and training programmes that benefit more than 15,000 people a year at Dumfries House, across the UK and around the world.
Dumfries House is the headquarters of the foundation, which King Charles established to train the next generation of skilled craftspeople - including in fashion and textiles - in heritage techniques essential to many traditional UK industries.
