Linlithgow Palace

In the town of Linlithgow, the site that calls the most attention is the palace, which is located just next to the main church (Saint Michael), in the center of town and on a hillside at the foot of a small lake that shares its name with the palace and the people. Even though the palace is in ruins, it has been very well preserved. It was built to create a supply intermediate position between the castles of Stirling and Edinburgh. It was rebuilt several times over the years due to having been destroyed by fires, this palace was in use until the nineteenth century. Among the most prominent guests, throughout its history, we find Bonnie Prince Charlie and was born within its walls could be queen, Mary Queen of Scots (cousin of Elizabeth I).

Done that brought pride to the local population. For a sunny calm day is ideal to make a stop in this charming corner.

Linlithgow Castle is impressive despite...

Le château de Linlithgow est ...

Le château de Linlithgow est impressionnant malgré les ravages du temps. Il est situé à côté de la principale église du village, sur une petite colline en plein centre ville. Dans la cour du château on se rend compte de sa grandeur et au milieu il y a une magnifique fontaine qui a été restaurée en partie il y a quelques années. Vous pourrez vous rendre dans les ruines des anciennes salles à manger avec leurs imposantes cheminées. Empruntez les escaliers situés dans les tours pour vous rendre sur les remparts et profiter d'une très belle vue panoramique.

In the courtyard you realize its greatness and in the middle there is a beautiful fountain that has been partially restored it a few years ago. You can visit the ruins of ancient dining rooms with their towering chimneys. Take the stairs in the towers to go to the ramparts and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.

Stop on the way to Stirling

Parada en el camino a Stirling

Este rincón lo quiero aprovechar para dar un consejo, que de haberlo sabido de antemano, me hubiera ahorrado tiempo (que es el tesoro de todo viajero fatiga como yo). Este curioso palacio está en la línea de tren de Edimburgo con el famoso palacio de Stirling, Así, con una paradita de una horita, yo lo haría a la ida porque la abadía de al lado cierra temprano, podéis matar dos pájaros de un tiro (sobre todo si tenéis el explorer pass que incluye ambos palacios)
This corner what I take to give advice, they have known in advance, I would have saved time (which is the treasure of every traveler fatigue such as myself). This curious palace is on the railway line with the famous Edinburgh castle of Stirling, So with a stop for an hour or so, I would make the trip because the abbey next door closes early, you can kill two birds with one stone ( especially if you have the explorer pass which includes both palaces)
