The Laich (Low) Hall is located in the Royal Palace on Crown Square in Edinburgh Castle. Many royal banquets and dances were held here. It also houses the anteroom and maternity ward. Where Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to her son James. What was the connection between James VI of Scotland and James I of England? King James VI was the last King of Scotland and after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 he also became King James I of England.

The palace at Edinburgh Castle was the official residence (and refuge in times of danger) of the later Stuart monarchs, including Mary Queen of Scots. View of the entrance to the Royal Apartments, with the gold letters MAH, representing the initials of the Queen and her husband Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley. One of the most beautiful restored rooms is the Laich Room, with its beautiful fireplace. In a small adjoining room, in 1566, Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to the future King James VI of Scotland, who later became King James I of England.
