King Charles and Queen Camilla have been joined by the Princess Royal to host a garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
It comes on the second day of the Royal couple's post-coronation visit to Scotland - which will culminate with the King receiving Scotland's crown jewels.
The garden party is a traditional part of Holyrood Week.
Two similar events were held at Buckingham Palace earlier this year.
Before the party, Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf was introduced to the King at Holyroodhouse - the official Royal residence in Scotland.
Along with the Queen, King Charles then viewed the new Jubilee Gates at the entrance to Abbey Yard at Holyroodhouse.
