LINLITHGOW PALACE - The magnificent ruins of Linlithgow Palace are set in a park beside a loch. Highlights: - The location – majestically situated in the centre 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. - The magnificent great hall – despite being roofless, it still has the power to impress. - The oriels – elegant projecting windows off the king’s and queen’s bedchambers. - The fountain – a beautiful three-tiered ‘wedding-cake’ structure in the centre of the courtyard. - The sculptures – all around the palace are sumptuous stone-carved figures, including beguiling angel musicians in the royal chapel.
