At the eastern end of the Royal Mile stands the impressive Holyrood Palace. Officially known as the Palace of Holyroodhouse, it is the official British royal residence in Scotland. It was designed and built by Sir William Bruce between 1671 and 1678.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the Monarchy in Scotland. Founded as a monastery in 1128 at the end of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, the Palace of Holyroodhouse has a close association with the History of Scotland. Today, the Palace is a close focus for national celebrations and events in Scotland, most notably The Queen's ‘Holyrood Week’, which usually runs from the end of June to the beginning of July every year.
