The King has arrived at Peterhead Port in the north-east of Scotland as he begins a number of visits highlighting the transition to renewable energy.

Charles arrived at the Aberdeenshire port on Tuesday morning, where he will meet a number of people and organisations involved in the area’s energy ecosystem.

Much of Scotland’s offshore renewable energy industry is based around Aberdeen, which is also home to the North Sea oil and gas industry.

On the quay at Peterhead, the King will meet local members of the energy supply chain, including the Peterhead Energy Transition Forum.

He will also meet representatives of Maritime Developments Ltd, a three-time recipient of the King’s Award for Enterprise.

The company offers low-emission alternatives to traditional offshore energy equipment.

Charles will go on to meet apprentices from the Scottish Maritime Academy and pupils from Peterhead Academy.

Later, he is expected to carry out further visits in the north-east of Scotland.
