Relive the era of the Stuart monarchy in Scotland at the ruins of Linlithgow Palace. Located just west of Edinburgh on the Linlithgow Loch, the palace served as residence to the Stuart family in the 15th and 16th centuries. Walk through the decaying ruins to learn more about the rich history of Scotland and the palace’s early inhabitants. Climb each of the towers to enjoy spectacular hillside views of the surrounding water. Take the train from Edinburgh to avoid the hassle of parking at the site. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Linlithgow Palace by using our Linlithgow travel itinerary maker.

Best castle ruins I've seen in the whole of Scotland. Can easily get lost in all the rooms. Hard to keep track of what you have and haven't explored yet.

Absolutely incredible. The views around are fantastic and the palace itself is an amazing visit. I would definitely recommend as a trip and there are many cafes in the town for lunch and snack. Overall a great stop for the day especially for families

I enjoy the history that it represents. Most of all, just chilling on the grass beside the building enjoying the place.
