The combine and tractor were provided by RHASS Director Bill Gray of Prestonhall Farm.
The Harvest Thanksgiving was led by Rev Sigrid Marten, Associate Minister of St Giles' Cathedral.
She said: "We are very excited that we have been able to work closely together with the Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland to highlight the vital role that Scottish farmers play in providing great quality food.
"Bringing farming equipment to the Royal Mile is one way to remind us of our dependence on those who work hard to produce our food."
