King Charles III has left Holyrood Palace on Wednesday afternoon to attend a national service to receive Scotland's crown jewels at St Giles' Cathedral.
Each year the monarch traditionally spends a week based at the Palace of Holyrood house in Edinburgh, known as Holyrood Week or Royal Week in Scotland.
The visit by King Charles, accompanied by Queen Consort Camilla, is the first visit to Edinburgh by the head of the Royal Family following the coronation which happened in May.
