The birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots is now a magnificent ruin, set in a park beside a loch.

Every Stewart king lived at Linlithgow Palace and, between 1425 and 1624, each left their mark by renovating sections to the tastes of their day. Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed here in 1745, and pursuing Government troops set the palace ablaze when they left. What you see today is much as they left it, and is a superb setting in which to let your imagination run free.
