In 2007, Charles and his charity, the Prince Foundation, purchased the Dumfries House, a 2,000-acre villa typical of the 18th century.
In 1814, the Dumfries House was inherited by John Clayton-Stuart, the second Marquis of Bit, and the property belonged to the Clayton-Stuart family until it was purchased by Charles and his charitable Prince Foundation in 2007.
Following restoration work, the Dumfries House opened to the public for guided tours in 2008 for the first time in 250 years.
In Scotland, however, they lived in Burke Hall, the former home of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen and Charles's grandmother.
Unlike other royal families, the estate was not intended to serve as a residence for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, but rather to provide a range of education and training and was open to the public throughout the year, with thousands of people active in the house, even more than 150 professional service providers.
In 2017, Prince Charles celebrated the 10th anniversary of the purchase of Dumfries House at the estate.
