In preparation for her funeral on September 19, the hearse is being driven to the Palace of Holyroodhouse before continuing on to London.
Her casket was draped with the Royal Standard for Scotland, and mourners stared in silence as it passed.
In Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, large crowds have assembled to witness King Charles III being proclaimed ruler.
Ceremony sites included Cardiff Castle in Wales, Hillsborough Castle in County Down, and the Royal Mile just adjacent to St. Giles’ Cathedral.
For the Proclamation, crowds gathered in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
The Princess Royal, daughter of the Queen, is traveling with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, in the cortege’s second car on the 175-mile trip.
At around 16:00 BST, the coffin is scheduled to arrive in Edinburgh after a leisurely six-hour drive through Aberdeen and Dundee.
Before she departed Balmoral for good, six gamekeepers from her Balmoral estate loaded the Queen’s oak casket into a hearse.
Some of the Queen’s favorite flowers, all picked from the estate, including white heather, dahlias and sweet peas, phlox, and pine fir, are included into the wreath atop the coffin.
Flowers were thrown in the road by mourners, some of whom had tied union flags to barricades, when the cortege arrived in Ballater, Aberdeenshire, the closest village to Balmoral.
The Queen’s casket will spend the night at Holyroodhouse, the monarch’s official residence in Scotland, after arriving in Edinburgh.
The King and other Royal Family members will process with the casket to St. Giles’ Cathedral on Monday afternoon. The public may pay their respects throughout the 24-hour period that the casket is kept under constant vigil.
The cathedral will host a service that evening.
Princess Anne will travel with her mother’s casket the next day as it makes its way from Edinburgh Airport back to Buckingham Palace via RAF Northolt.
