The Lord High Commissioner has addressed the General Assembly on its final day.
His Grace, the Duke of Edinburgh, shared with commissioners details of the engagements he and his wife, Her Grace, the Duchess of Edinburgh, carried out during the course of the week.
Prince Edward attended the General Assembly as the personal representative of his brother King Charles III.
The role reflects the Kirk's importance as the national church and the monarch's place as both protector and member of that Church.
This is the second time that Prince Edward has been appointed Lord High Commissioner, having previously represented the late Queen in 2014.
