Linlithgow - Scotland
Linlithgow is a beautiful, quiet little town, 15 miles west of
Edinburgh. I visited the town early on a Sunday morning and met
some of the very friendly locals.
Main street in Linlithgow
The oldest sections of Linlithgow date back to the 15th century and
some of the buildings still resemble structures from that time
period.
Road to Linlithgow Palace
Like many Scottish towns, Linlithgow has an old palace. It took
almost 200 years to finish building Linlithgow Palace (starting in
1425) and during that time, Mary, Queen of Scots was born there.
Part of the palace was destroyed by fire in 1746, during the last
Jacobite rebellion.
Linlithgow Loch
Linlithgow Loch is behind the palace and the Sunday morning when I
was there in June, 2001, it was populated by beautiful swans.
