BBC Scotland looks back at the late Pope's whistle-stop visit to Scotland in September 2010.
When the late Pope Benedict stepped on to the tarmac at Edinburgh Airport on 16 September 2010 he became the first pontiff to visit Scotland in 28 years.
He was met by dignitaries including Prince Philip and Cardinal Keith O'Brien, who draped a specially-designed Papal tartan scarf over his shoulders. It was to be the first of many memorable moments on a day which started in the Scottish capital and ended with an open-air Mass in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow.Getty ImagesA gust of wind greeted the Pope shortly after he landed in Edinburgh at the start of his four-day visit to the UK
