It was a show of Scotland. King Charles III was honored on Wednesday by a parade down Edinburgh's Royal Mile with bagpipes, kilts, drums, and a Shetland pony named Corporal Cruachan IV.

Two months after his fancy coronation in London's Westminster Abbey, Scotland held its own party to celebrate the new king or queen taking the throne.

Charles and Camilla were not crowned a second time at St. Giles' Cathedral, but the new king was given the Honors of Scotland, which included the crown, scepter, and sword of state. The Stone of Destiny, which is a big part of what makes Scotland Scotland, was also brought to the church for the celebrations.

The presence of these symbols of Scottish identity shows respect for a country that is fiercely proud of its past and where some people have never stopped wanting independence, even though Scotland has been part of England and the United Kingdom since 1707. The Scottish National Party is in charge of Scotland's national government. This party wants a second vote on Scotland's independence.

A coronation expert at King's College London named George Gross said, "It's not a coronation." "But it shows that Scotland has its own identity, which is a very important thing."

Charles is trying to show that the monarchy, which has been around for 1,000 years, is still important in modern Britain. The events in Edinburgh are part of this attempt. USA Today says that Prince Charles went to Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales soon after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died last September. He then went to London for the state funeral.

In the same way that May's coronation event showed how diverse Britain is today, a Gaelic psalm will be sung at a church service on Wednesday. Charles will also get a new sword made by craftsmen in Scotland and named after Elizabeth. The current sword of state, which was made in 1507 and is too fragile to be used in the event, will be replaced by this one.
