Linlithgow Palace is located in the town of Linlithgow in West Lothian, Scotland. The palace is situated on a low hill above a small inland loch. The site has been occupied since Roman times, and has served as a royal residence since the reign of David I in 1124-53. In 1424, due to an English attack, fire damaged the earlier residence. James I ordered the new construction of a quadrangular palace with a central courtyard. The palace was added to throughout its history. The palace served as a nursery for James V, Mary Queen of Scots, and Princess Elizabeth. The royal apartments were added by James IV, the three-tier courtyard fountain was added by James V, and the north quarter was rebuilt for James VI. In 1603, James VI moved the royal court to London after his coronation as James I of England. In 1607, the queen’s apartment fell to the ground, but it was rebuilt around 1620. In 1746, the palace was used by government troops under the Duke of Cumberland who were pursuing Prince Charles, when the troops left they set the palace on fire. The palace remains roofless and some of the upper floors are missing, the ground floor, first floor buildings and some of the corner towers are accessible. The courtyard fountain was completely rebuilt and restored in 2005, although 2/3 of it was replaced. Linlithgow Palace is open to the public. (temporarily closed right now)  Photo credit: Nichbrand
