Linlithgow Palace, Edinburgh and the Lothians
Location: Linlithgow EH49 7AL (map and directions) Linlithgow Palace © Alistair McMillan History of Linlithgow PalaceWhen the town of Linlithgow was partially destroyed by a fire in 1424, King James I rebuilt
the palace into a royal residence, simultaneously rebuilding the Church of St Michael to the
south of the Palace. This began a long history of royal connections at Linlithgow, including
additions to the castle by James III, James IV and James V, who added the courtyard
fountain. Map and directionsToday Linlithgow is managed by Historic Scotland and is open year round to visitors. The Church of St Michael is open during the summer only.View Linlithgow Palace in a larger map |
