PRINCESS Diana would have turned 59 years old today.

The Princess of Wales won the hearts of many Scots during her visits north of the border.

She was widely regarded as the "People's Princess" due to her charity work, her sense of style and her dedication to sons Prince William and Prince Harry.

The respect she garnered across the country was put on full display following her tragic death in 1997, with thousands of mourners paying respect at Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh and George Square in Glasgow.

Here, we take a look back at some of Princess Diana's most memorable moments in Scotland.
