Linlithgow Palace

Linlithgow Palace

A writ of protection for a family under threat became the ruins of Linlithgow Palace, a visitor attraction in Scotland.

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are located in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. Built in 1302 under Edward I of England, the palace was a royal manor in the 12th century and later expanded by David II. The palace went through many alterations and additions, eventually becoming a five-story palace for James I in 1424. The castle served as a residence for Scottish royalty for centuries. Today, it stands as a ruin, a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.
