Linlithgow Palace guided walking tour 

Visit the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots with a tour of Linlithgow Palace. A 16th-century seat of Scottish royal power, we will guide you through this magnificent building into the history of the Stewart family from their origin to the English throne.

This impressive retreat was an ideal place for royals to break the journey between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle. High towers look out over lush greenery and a loch brimming with wildfowl, which is today a Site of Special Scientific Interest cared for by our rangers.

Enjoy the scene where monarchs were born in this royal ‘pleasure palace’, surrounded by its peaceful gardens and grounds.
