During the visit to the mill, who have dealt with Balmoral for more than 34 years, Charles said he does not know whether he will 'be around' for a visit in 24 years’ time.
King Charles III thanked workers at a sawmill in Aberdeenshire that has bought thousands of tonnes of timber from a nearby royal estate. The Monarch made his second visit to the James Jones and Sons Limited sawmill at Aboyne, which has bought timber from the Balmoral Estate for more than 34 years.
Company chairman Tom Bruce-Jones, whose father welcomed Charles in 1999, joked it was “too expensive”. Charles said: “Well done everybody thank you very much for all the efforts you made. Thank you for dealing with some of the Balmoral timber.” The sawmill now trades indirectly with the Balmoral Estate, including high-quality pine, but the working relationship goes back decades. It recently had a £15 million investment to increase sustainability and produces construction timber, which can be used as a substitute for steel and concrete.
He also unveiled a plaque commemorating the visit, which was made on-site, and signed the visitor book. Apprentice Kieron Cassie, 21, said: “I think a fair few folk have been feeling excited. He asked me a couple of questions. The plaque was made here.” Angus Milligan, 48, said: “It’s a great honour, we appreciate the fact the Royals spend time here. People come and spend money hoping to see the royals. He comes up here and is able to be himself, it’s an escape.”
