The King has delivered a speech at the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Scottish Parliament.
He began by saying the Parliament's opening in 1999 reflected a "new dawn" for the country. He describes it as an "extraordinary occasion".
The King's speech also described the Parliament as being a "great, almost daunting" prospect for MSPs when it opened but that it has "borne witness to the enduring relationship between the Parliament, the crown and the people of Scotland".
He highlighted the Royal Family's love of Scotland, saying that his grandmother was proudly Scottish and that his late mother chose to spend her final days at Balmoral.
After praising the Parliament's work, the King added "there is much more to be done", pointing to climate change issues and biodiversity as he looked ahead to "the next chapter" for the Parliament.
