Scots will be able to celebrate the King's coronation over a long weekend as an extra bank holiday to mark the occasion has been added to the calendar.
The holiday will fall on May 8 following the coronation at Westminster Abbey two days earlier on May 6. It will take place across the UK.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The coronation will be a historic moment for Scotland, and the Scottish Government wants to give as many people as possible to join the celebrations.
