Kate and William have been photographed while on a bird shoot in Scotland. Recently returned from their holiday in Mustique the couple's luck at avoiding photographers ran out as the pair was photographed shooting with a group of friends. Although her allergy to horses keeps her away from riding, shooting is a royal sport that Kate has taken up eagerly--with predictable outcry from anti-hunt groups.
This past New Year the couple stayed at Birkhall, Prince Charles Scottish residence, on the Balmoral Estate. William also has a private cottage nearby, given to him by the Queen Mother, which he and Kate have stayed at in the past. However, word has it that this time around Kate and William are staying at the Queen's private home Balmoral.
Bring on the engagement speculation.
