King Charles Edinburgh visit: Road closures as procession planned on Royal Mile to mark Coronation

Edinburgh locals warned of closures ahead of Royal visit

Several roads will be closed in Edinburgh for events celebrating the coronation of King Charles.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will visit the Capital on Wednesday, July 5, for a series of events marking the coronation. There will be a national service of thanksgiving at St Giles' Cathedral, as well as two processions up and down the Royal Mile. It will be the first time that King Charles has visited Edinburgh since he was crowned earlier this year.

Edinburgh council warned locals that the Old Town and surrounding streets may be “extremely busy” and advised motorists to avoid driving in the city centre. Here are all the road closures during King Charles’ visit to Edinburgh:
