The King has begun his official stay in Scotland by receiving the keys to the City of Edinburgh , which is celebrating its 900th anniversary.
He was welcomed by the Lord Provost, City of Edinburgh councillor Robert Aldridge, who presented the keys on a red velvet cushion which Charles symbolically touched.
