Linlithgow Palace
Seventeen miles west of Edinburgh is Linlithgow, the county town of West Lothian, and here in the Palace was born the ill-fated Mary Queen of Scots in 1542. At seven months she was taken to Stirling castle. During the time when she was Queen, in Scotland, Mary visited Linlithgow on numerous occasions. But during her captivity in England, and after the succession of her infant son, James VI, the palace became somewhat neglected. The last royal Stuart to stay at Linlithgow was the 25 year old Prince Charles Edward, “Bonnie Prince Charlie” in 1745. A few months later after Charles's unsuccessful march into England to reclaim the Crown for the Stuarts from George II, the Duke of Cumberland (George's son) and his troops took over the palace. When they marched North on February 1st 1746 someone left an unattended fire which soon spread. Within hours the palace was a roofless shell.
Linlithgow Palace is managed by Historic Scotland and is open to the public.
