Its good for a family day out. Look round the palace and the church of Scotland with its beautiful stained glass windows are a must see. Or have a picnic with the family and let the kids run around.

I think Linlithgow Palace is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Scotland. The history alone is unique. If your in this area don't miss it, the High Street too is full of quaint little businesses, with plenty of cafes, restaurants and a lovely walk round the water, takes about 40 minutes.

I loved this castle! Super cool and makes for some great photos since partially ruined. Also allows you to use your imagination while still providing enough info on the panels.

Went on a lovely sunny day and it has great views and a nice place to walk round. However I think calling it a palace is probably a touch grand, it has no windows! It's more of a substantial ruin that was once a palace. On a nice day, a good short trip

Beautiful palace and surrounding area. We were on a day trip around the area from Glasgow but unfortunately this was our last stop and we were not able to see the inside. From the outside it is a magnificent structure. Lots of great history and glad we saw what we could.
