A royal manor existed on the site of Linlithgow Palace from the 12th century. This site was later enclosed by a timber palisade and outer fosse to create a fortification known as 'the Peel' in 1301/2. Located in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, 15 miles west of Edinburgh, the palace served as one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries.
