More about this scene

The Palace is situated upon the south shore of Linlithgow Loch. King David I built the first manor house at Linlithgow, and the church of St Michael next to it. In 1301, Edward Longshanks set about rebuilding and heavily fortifying the palace, and it was held by the English until the autumn of 1313. It was here that Mary, Queen of Scots was born in 1542. The palace is thought to have been burnt down accidently in 1746 by General Hawley's troops.
