SCOTLAND ~ Linlithgow Palace - Linlithgow - West Lothian

... View of the magnificent ruin of a great Royal Palace set in its own park and beside Linlithgow Loch... a visit to Linlithgow Palace allows visitors to explore one of Scottish history’s most important royal residences, and walk in the footsteps of some of its most famous figures...  its royal connection and picturesque setting makes it an enduring tourist attraction... the palace is enormous and you’ll spend an age wandering through its countless rooms and passageways... the loch and surrounding parkland are beautiful  and great for wildlife spotting... it’s a popular filming location, as it’s also used in the Outlander series...Thanks so much Andrene!!! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) ... must have been once more a wonderful place to visit... Hope you enjoyed your stay with family and friends!❤️😊

The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. 

It is the birthplace of a number of Scottish monarchs, including both James V and his daughter Mary, Queen of Scots and hosted most of the Stuart kings.
