King enjoys wee dram at Highland Games
Charles, 74, visited the Mey Highland Games in the village of John O’Groats on Saturday
The King enjoyed a wee dram as he visited a Highland Games.
Charles, 74, visited the Mey Highland Games in the village of John O’Groats in the far north of Scotland – which is believed to be among the country’s smallest.
The monarch, who is chieftain of the games, wore a traditional kilt with a green tweed jacket, a matching waistcoat and red woollen socks.
Upon arrival, he appeared relaxed and took time to shake hands with and wave at members of the public.
The first Mey Games was held in the nearby village of Mey in 1970 to celebrate the late Queen Mother’s 70th birthday.
As guest of honour on the day, she declared the event a success and encouraged its organisers to make it an annual event.
Charles, who was presented with a sword, sceptre and crown called the Honours of Scotland at an historic coronation service last month, also visited last year’s event, which was the first since the onset of the pandemic.
