    Linlithgow Palace lies roofless and ruined but you can see how it was once an amazing royal palace. Work began to build the palace in 1424 when James 1st ordered a pleasure palace to replace the fire damaged older residence. The Royals used it as a rest stop and nursery as they travelled between Edinburgh and Stirling. It didn't last long though once the royals moved to London in 1603 it fell into disrepair and was finished by a huge fire in 1746.
    Today the site is managed by Historic Scotland. You can visit some of the castle and have a look around. The run around the loch gives great views from all angles.
