Scotland Celebrates King Charles III's Coronation with Mixed Reactions

Scotland hosted its own event to honor King Charles III, two months after his coronation in London. While not a second coronation, the new king was presented with the Honors of Scotland, including the crown, scepter, and sword of state, during a service at St. Giles' Cathedral. The Stone of Destiny, a symbol of Scottish identity, was also present. The event aimed to strengthen ties between Scotland and the United Kingdom, but some protesters called for an elected head of state and criticized the cost of living. The festivities included a procession, featuring bagpipes and a Shetland pony, and highlighted Scotland's unique history and identity.
