POTENTIALLY its a less than hygienic plea for independence, but in the current climate taking a leak on Her Majesty's lawn seems a little off message.
With regular public conveniences closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Scottish joggers and walkers have taken to relieving themselves on the grounds of Balmoral Castle.
Members of Queen Elizabeth II's staff at her Scottish retreat have taken to Twitter earlier this week to highlight the issue.
"[We're] disappointed to see so many wipes discarded on the estate today," the official Balmoral Castle Twitter account said.
"Next to paths and monuments.
"Please remember there are no public toilets open for miles around at the moment."
In a separate tweet, a staff member explained there were environmental concerns noting "we are seeing a lot of non biodegradable wipes" being dumped on the grounds.
"Also people are choosing to relieve themselves next to busy paths and monuments rather than move a little bit further away to avoid contamination," the staffer said.
