The adorable Scottish name for one of the Queen 's newest corgi puppies has just been revealed.
Two new pups arrived at Windsor last month, with one being a dorgi, a cross between a Welsh corgi and a Daschund, and the second being a regular Welsh corgi pup.
Her Majesty is said to have named the dorgi pup Fergus, after her uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon who died fighting in France during World War One, while the corgi pup has been given the adorable Scottish name Muick (which is pronounced Mick) - after Loch Muick, a freshwater loch on the Balmoral Estate near Braemar.
Muick is the first new corgi in the Royal household since The Queen’s final corgi, Whisper, sadly passed away in 2018.
According to a source close to the family, Loch Muick is one of Queen Elizabeth's "favourite places on the Balmoral Estate", with the family known to go walking and have picnics there during their summer break in August and September.
Both names are reportedly close to her heart as the second pup is named after Fergus Bowes-Lyon, a favoured uncle, who died during the Battle of Loos in September 1915.
The loch has a long association with the Royal Family, Queen Victoria also spent a lot of time there.
The lodge Glas-allt-Shiel, which lies close to the shore, is said to have been rebuilt by Queen Victoria, who called it her "widow's house" where she would often escape to after the death of her husband Prince Albert.
Well known for her love of dogs, and the corgi breed, in particular, The Queen has owned more than 30 during her near 70-year reign.
Her love affair with the Welsh breed began after she was given a dog named Susan by her parents on her 18th birthday in 1944.
Her Majesty also introduced Dorgis to her collection after one of her favourite dogs Tiny bred with her sister Princess Margaret's Dachshund Pipkin, meaning Fergus will be in good company.
The pair are said to be the first dogs ever bought from an outside source and not directly descended from Susan.
