Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh this morning.
It is Trudeau's first honorary degree and comes on the second full day of his trip to Europe this week for bilateral meetings in Ireland and the G20 summit in Germany.
Dressed in a red and orange robe, Trudeau told graduates of the school of social and political sciences to go out and make the world proud.
He said when he graduated from McGill University 23 years ago he had no interest in becoming a politician.
Later today Trudeau will have a private meeting with the Queen at her official Scottish residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
It is his second meeting with the Queen since taking office in 2015, and comes largely because she was unable to travel to Canada herself to mark Canada's 150th birthday.
