An adorable video has shown the moments after seven rare piglets were born at Dumfries House.
Hilda, a rare-breed sow on Valentin's Education Farm on the estate, gave birth to seven Tamworth piglets over the weekend.
Valentin’s Education Farm was opened in 2017, and aims to give children a genuine farm-to-fork experience, while also focusing on native livestock conservation.
According to Dumfries House, the Rare Breeds Trust worked closely with the estate, introducing animals that would thrive on the farm.
Breeds include Landrace pigs, Scots grey chickens and the Cröllwitzer turkey, a personal favourite of His Royal Highness.
The piglets are looking forward to meeting pupils on The Prince's Foundation's farm and education programme in the coming weeks.
Just last month, 10 adorable rare-breed Landrace piglets were born at the farm.
