Accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk, Colonel Charles Wallace (recently appointed by HM King Charles III), The Duke was greeted at the foot of the library's distinctive external stair by Rev Colin C Renwick, Chair of the Leighton Library Trustees.

Introductions followed to fellow Trustees Sir James Campbell (a descendant of one of the original hereditary Trustees), Gordon Willis (who catalogued the Leighton Library), Dan Gunn OBE (who is also a member of the Executive Group and manages the extensive group of volunteers), and Chris Onslow (Honorary Treasurer, and Honorary Secretary to the Trustees and members of the Executive Group).
