Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale MP David Mundell has expressed sadness at Prince Philip's passing.
He said: "He was a remarkable man who provided a tremendous support to Her Majesty the Queen and, like her, had a remarkable perspective on global events built up over many decades of public service.
"Prince Philip was a huge supporter of rural life and has been a regular visitor to my constituency both accompanying The Queen on official visits and during events at Drumlanrig Castle when pursuing his passion for horse-carriage driving.
"Amongst many interests, he was keen in encouraging young people to make the most of themselves and many locally have benefitted from participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programmes."
Mr Mundell added: "Prince Philip's sometimes mischievous personality and dry sense of humour, although occasionally controversial, also endeared him to many."
