The King and Queen have led members of the Royal Family in the annual Royal Week in Scotland.
Also known as Holyrood Week, the event takes place in the first week of July, celebrating Scottish culture, community and achievements.
It began this year with King Charles III taking part in the Ceremony of the Keys at his official Scottish residence – the Palace of Holyroodhouse – and went on to include a formal ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral and garden party at Holyrood Park.
The Royal couple then travelled to the Borders where they witnessed the traditional Jedburgh hand ba’ game.
The week ended with the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, handing out the awards created by his late father Prince Philip, the previous Duke of Edinburgh.
Recipients of this year’s Gold Award included the current Duke’s daughter, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, who earlier in the week graduated from the University of St Andrews.
