The Prince of Wales has officially opened the Belling Hospitality Training Centre at Dumfries House Estate this month.
The training facility, sponsored by electrical manufacturers Glen Dimplex, provides a training kitchen and restaurant to cater to the needs of restaurateurs and hoteliers as well as providing one-day experiences for visitors.
The Princes Trust is behind five-week programme Get into Hospitality, which covers food hygiene, food preparation and front of house skills for 16 to 25 year olds.
The Prince also visited the Sawmill Traditional Skills Centre, which is a base for the trust's Get into Sustainable Building programmes, and covers stone masonry, carpentry and dry stone walling.
