While visiting Scotland alongside husband Prince William, Kate Middleton shared that she once received, of all things, a chainsaw for Christmas.

According to The Mirror, on April 29 Kate—who was celebrating her 14th wedding anniversary with William that same day—shared that she was looking for tips on beekeeping and carpentry, two hobbies she’s taken up recently. To help support her new carpentry hobby, the future queen even received a chainsaw last December 25.

The Princess of Wales—known as the Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland—said she was “desperate for any tips” for her beekeeping hobby while speaking to a local beekeeper on the Isle of Mull on Tuesday. She also quipped that she has a fondness for the Scottish Isles, and still has two watercolor paintings she bought when on a private visit with William there 20 years ago—and that those paintings are hanging in a bedroom at their four-bedroom home Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

While meeting with painters, carpenters, and volunteers, William spotted a photograph of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth and grandfather Prince Philip when they were on a visit to the island in 1956, which he called “amazing.” William and Kate then agreed to help add wooden tiles to a roof with a nail gun, William “sniffing the wood as he asked what kind it was and taking instructions on the tool,” The Mirror reported.

William “fired several nails in successfully” before handing the nail gun to Kate, advising her not to pull the trigger just then or “otherwise our trip will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.” It was then that Kate was heard saying “I’ve been given a chainsaw” for Christmas.

Admiring Kate’s work with the nail gun, an onlooker told William, “What can’t she do?” to which William—“acknowledging his wife’s prowess at trying things out on public engagements,” according to The Mirror—replied, “That always happens.”

The two then painted part of a mural, with William, to his earlier point, encouraging Kate to go first as she is the artistic one and there is “ no competition.” Kate “took her time painting a small white flower, persuading her husband to do his own,” The Mirror reported.

“Come on, please, please,” Kate urged William, handing him a paintbrush and palette, “patting him on the back and briefly leaning her head on his shoulder afterwards,” according to the outlet.

Speaking later on of her new beekeeping habit—one she shares with Meghan Markle, who opened her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, with shots of her taking part in the hobby—Kate said, “This is my summer project. I’ve only just started. At our home in Norfolk—I’m not there much during the term [when her kids are in school], but during the summer I am hoping to really immerse myself in the process. I find it absolutely fascinating.”

“I’ll have to take your number for some tips!” she said to a well-wisher who was skilled at the hobby.

Before heading to their self-catered cottage, William and Kate spent more than an hour walking through the small town’s harbor front road, shaking hands and taking photographs with locals and vacationers. William recalled visiting with Kate in “2002, 2004—somewhere around then,” joking he could always confirm whether he’d visited a place before because he’s usually asked to sign a visitors’ book. He also quipped that he might have had “one or two ciders” during his last visit to the Isle of Mull as a college student.

Speaking of Kate’s chainsaw, while she didn’t specify who exactly gave her the Christmas gift, William once admitted that he gave his then-girlfriend a gift that baffled her, one so “awful” that he still hasn’t lived it down. Early in their courtship, while both were still students at the University of St. Andrews, The Mirror reported that in the early 2000s William “was far less confident in his gift-giving abilities” and gave Kate “a pair of binoculars once—she’s never let me forget that,” William said during an interview on BBC Radio Five Live.

“That was early on in the courtship, that was—I think that sealed the deal,” he joked. “It didn’t go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars. It seemed like a good idea at the time.”
