Nicola Sturgeon will have her first audience with the new King on Monday ahead of his visit to the Scottish Parliament where members will gather to remember the Queen.
King Charles and the Queen Consort will fly to Edinburgh in the morning ahead of a special procession as the Queen's coffin is moved from Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral where it will lay in rest for 24 hours.
Thousands are expected to line the streets for the short journey from the official residence to the Cathedral.
Following a service at the cathedral at 3pm Sturgeon and Charles will head to Holyrood where the First Minister will give a speech to the Chamber. Prior to the speech she will meet the King for a reception at Holyroodhouse.
Presiding officer Alison Johnstone will welcome the royals, before inviting each party leader to speak on the motion. MSPs from all parties will then have the chance to pay their respects to the late monarch during a special session of the parliament.
Johnstone said: "People across Scotland continue to mourn the passing of Her Majesty The Queen and I wish to express on behalf of the Scottish Parliament our deepest condolences to His Majesty The King and The Royal Family.
“This motion of condolence will provide an opportunity for the Parliament to come together to pay tribute to The Queen’s life of service and her enduring bond with Scotland and its people.
“This day will also mark a significant milestone for the country as we welcome The King to the Scottish Parliament for the first time as monarch."
On Sunday Sturgeon attended the reading of the Accession Proclamation in Scotland and participated in a procession from Parliament House via the Mercat Cross and on to Edinburgh Castle.
She was also in attendance alongside other party leaders and senior MSPs who gathered at parliament to observe the Queen's coffin travel to Holyroodhouse.
Sturgeon will travel down to London later in the week to observe the coffin at Westminster Hall in London then attend the state funeral on Monday, September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
