Linlithgow Palace had numerous renovations to the palace\'s grand facades and chambers carried out as each of the Stewart Kings sought to create the ideal modern palace. The location of the palace is in the centre of the historic town of Linlithgow, beside 15th-century St Michael\'s Kirk, and overlooking the peel (park) and loch. The loch has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest thanks to its wildfowl population. Highlights of Linlithgow palace include the magnificent great hall; the oriels - elegant projecting windows off the king\'s and queen\'s bedchambers; the beautiful three-tiered \"wedding-cake\" fountain in the centre of the courtyard, and the sculptures all around the palace, including the magnificent angel musicians in the royal chapel.

Linlithgow

Linlithgow is a 16th Century town 18 miles outside of Edinburgh, that is easily visited by train, that was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. The main attraction is Linlithgow Palace which remains largely intact and makes a fascinating attraction, with displayed artefacts and illustrations of the way life was lived in Tudor times and what passed for the then Scottish Court. Linlithgow is also the home of the Edinburgh & Glasgow Union Canal Centre from where boats can be hired to experience the Falkirk Wheel or for the two and a half hour canal trip to the fantastic Avon Aqueduct.
