King Charles and Queen Camilla appeared in high spirits this morning as they greeted royal fans during their visit to The Great Tapestry of Scotland.
The royal couple are taking part in a series of engagements across Scotland to mark their first Holyrood Week since the Coronation in May.
The annual event involves members of the Royal Family travelling across the country in a celebration of Scottish culture.
Following on from the Service of Dedication and Thanksgiving yesterday, Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, arrived in Galashiels on the Scottish borders this morning.
The couple stop and spoke with dozens of royal fans who were waiting outside The Great Tapestry of Scotland museum this morning to catch a glimpse of the monarch.

Charles was dressed in a traditional green-and-red kilt for the engagement this morning.
The monarch also wore a pair of knee-high red socks which he paired with a grey suit jacket and matching waistcoat.
Meanwhile, Camilla was elegant in a light grey jacket and matching midi skirt, which she wore with nude heels.
The couple took time to shake hands with fans who were waiting on their arrival and held up Good Save the King flags.
The Great Tapestry of Scotland dates back to 85000 BC and was hand-stitched by over 1000 people across Scotland.
The awe-inspiring tapestry details the history of country and is made up of 300 miles of wool.
The historic piece of art is housed in a modern gallery and visitor centre in Galashiels.
Yesterday, the monarch received the Crown of Scotland, the Sceptre and the Sword of State of the Honours of Scotland – the country’s crown jewels – at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh eight weeks after his crowning at Westminster Abbey.

William and Catherine, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay north of the border, joined Scotland’s leading figures and 100 individuals from all walks of society at the church on the Royal Mile.
The Right Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, delivered the sermon, in which she called for action to tackle global warming to stop the world ‘baking to a crisp’.
A 21-gun salute rang out across the Scottish capital following the historic ceremony, before nine planes left trails of red, white and blue as the royals watched from the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
During the processions activists loudly booed and shouted ‘Not My King’ from a protest spot yards from the Royal Mile – leading to criticism from royalists who believe they should have been given a less prominent location.
