King Charles set for Scotland visit as Buckingham Palace confirms dates in July

The King will attend a series of engagements over two days during an annual visit to Scotland, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

Charles will hold an investiture and host guests at a garden party in Edinburgh on July 2 and 3 as part of Holyrood Week.




The King, joined by the Queen, will also attend a celebration for the 900th anniversary of the city at Edinburgh Castle.

Each year, the monarch traditionally spends a week based at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, known as Holyrood Week or Royal Week in Scotland.
