The Prince, who opened the original facility in 2005, was told about the benefits of oxygen therapy for treating long Covid whilst on the visit. It was also explained that the barochamber in the Healing Hub is operated on a voluntary basis and can help people with a range of health issues, from multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis to sports injuries.

Sharon Florence, who has been using the hub since suffering from long Covid said: "I just explained to him [Charles] why I was using it and how much it has helped me and that I had returned to work. He certainly seemed really interested in what I had to say"
The highland visit comes just hours after Charles and Duchess Camilla travelled to Birmingham to represent the Queen at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Charles donned a traditional kilt for the occasion
Buckingham Palace previously announced that Her Majesty would not be attending to this year's games due to her ongoing mobility issues.
At the exciting event, Charles read a special message from his mother which was placed inside the Commonwealth Games Baton in October 2021 and proceeded to travel the globe during a 294-day journey to all 72 nations and territories of the Commonwealth.
