On Wednesday, he took part in a second ceremony in Scotland that bore all the regal trappings of a coronation, if not the same legal status. Charles was presented with a scepter, sword of state and the crown first worn at a coronation by Mary Queen of Scots in 1543.

Scotland has not been a kingdom since 1707, when the Act of Union brought it together with England.
