On Thursday, craftsmen unveiled the new sword, named The Elizabeth
A new sword will be presented to King Charles when he receives Scotland's Crown Jewels at a ceremony in Edinburgh.
The sword was designed by Mark Dennis, an advocate from St Andrews. The design takes inspiration from both thistles and the Scottish landscape. Mr Dennis said he wanted to create something that truly represents Scotland, "not with the scotty dogs and whisky bottles and things, but really integrally the land, the symbols and the sense of Scotland".
"He loves craftsmanship and it'll be the craftsmen, the people who made it, who are there to present it to them. Our Elizabeth, to become his. So I think it will be a wonderful moment for us." Top news stories today "This is a beautiful object - and it's very Scottish. As Mark has said. it's not about scotty dogs, it's not about tartan or whatever, but it is symbolically, it's of Scotland. That's what I think about it."
