Linlithgow Palace and Loch.

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Linithgow Palace is one of the most important castles in the Lowlands of Scotland. It's located on Loch Linithgow, a bit south of the Firth of Forth and a somewhat further distance west of Edinburgh. Originally a utilitarian fortress, it was rebuilt as a royal palace in the 15th century and was the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. It fell into disuse following the unification of the English and Scottish crowns in 1603. The castle was burned during the 18th century Jacobite Rebellion and was never re-occupied.

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.
