As well as visits to Carluke, Carstairs, Biggar and Douglas, the Moderator managed to take part in a golf tournament at Lanark Golf Course, where he finished in a very respectable second place.
He shared that place with Don MacKenzie and in first place was Iain Duncan.
William said: "I was perhaps at my most nervous when teeing off at the first hole at Lanark with so many watching...but it was a wonderful day."
