The couple are returning to the University of St Andrews, where their fairytale romance began, to launch the institution's 600th anniversary celebrations.
The wet and windy conditions did not reflect the mood in the town of St Andrews which has been abuzz since the trip was announced last week.Under grey skies and huddling under umbrellas against the lashing wind and rain, well-wishers had begun gathering against crash barriers to get the best view of the prince and his fiancee.
Joyce Robertson, 60, a retired nurse, who was waiting patiently with a friend, said: "I've come to see William and Kate because I love the royal family - I think they will be a wonderful asset to the monarchy."
Asked about the conditions, she replied: "I don't mind about the weather - this is normal."
Standing a few feet away was postgraduate student Jessica Volz, 24, who is studying for a Phd in English at the University of St Andrews.
Miss Volz, from Denver in Colorado, the United States, said: "I just live right down the street so its very convenient but I don't mind getting wet.
"I've always been interested in the British history and right now's an interesting time for the monarchy.
"I really do admire William and Kate, especially their strong commitment to supporting charity."
