Scotland Backdrop To Royal Engagement

Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton following the announcement today of their engagement.

Now a royal wedding is likely either in the spring or summer of next year.

Expect wall-to-wall media coverage as the world watches the couple's every move.

I certainly don't envy them one little bit. It'll be tough going.

Hopefully, the pivotal role St Andrews in Scotland played in bringing the happy couple together won't be forgotten.

They met as students at the town's famous university in 2001.

The people of St Andrews are to be congratulated for allowing the couple the years of space in which their romance blossomed.

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond was quick to offer his heartfelt congratulations following the announcement of the engagement.

The SNP leader said, "My warmest congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton on their wonderful news. Of course this was a match made in St Andrews, and everyone in Scotland will join with me in wishing the Prince and Ms Middleton every happiness as they look forward to their wedding day, and a long and fulfilling married life together."
