.

The new king then travelled to the Scottish Parliament with his wife, the Queen Consort, where the couple were welcomed by Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone.He said: "If I might paraphrase the words of the great Robert Burns, my dear mother was 'the friend of man, the friend of truth, the friend of age, and guide of youth - few hearts like his-with virtue warm'd, few heads with knowledge so informed'".

"Through all the years of her reign, the Queen like so many generations of our family before her, found in the hills of this land and in the hearts of its people, a haven and a home." He said: “I take up my new duties with thankfulness for all that Scotland has given me. With resolve to seek always the welfare of our country and its people and with wholehearted trust in your goodwill and good counsel as we take forward that task together.”
