    Hiking

    Linlithgow Palace was built from 1424 and is best known as the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 - 8 February 1587). The palace fell into decline when James VI moved the royal court to London in 1603, following his coronation as James I of England.

    Beautiful idyllic Scottish town at the foot of the castle ruins. This is almost entirely walkable, from the basement to the towers with a breathtaking view.
