The couple's official visit ended with a showcase of the city's heritage and modern progressive future, including a Bollywood-style dance display in the setting of Edinburgh Castle.
The King and Queen kicked off Edinburgh 's 900th anniversary celebrations by sampling vintage whisky that left Camilla saying "that hit the spot".
After taking a sip of the 52-year-old single malt, Camilla looked into the glass and said: "That hit the spot, that hit the spot." The couple also watched as Ihayami, a dance troupe of Scottish women with an Asian heritage, performed for the royal couple to Scottish bagpipe music. Sir Alexander McCall Smith, creator of The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, who was knighted by Charles on Tuesday for services to literature, academia and charity, read a poem about Edinburgh.
