The King traditionally spends a week based at the Palace of Holyroodhouse each year in what is known as Holyrood Week or Royal Week in Scotland.
On Tuesday, the King began the official visit with the traditional Ceremony of the Keys in the palace gardens, before presiding over an investiture ceremony for honours recipients.
Later in the day the King and Queen hosted guests at a garden party at the palace, alongside the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
