It really is a very beautiful work. You have to visit it. If I removed a star, it is only because there are very few indications as to the direction of the visit and there are so many nooks and crannies that we no longer know which ones. we did and those we didn’t do. There is a QR code at the start but for my part, the page loaded when we went out. Other than that, it's a very nice visit.

A palace you can literally crawl all over (and spend some time doing so) and get lost amidst a maze of passageways and stairs. Also provides great views over the local area. A great place to explore and learn details about Mary Queen of Scots birthplace.

This is my first Chateau and I was amazed! Magnificent description by an audio guide. We have free access to almost all sections of the castle (a few sections are under renovation). The castle is a 20-minute drive from Edinburgh. We were lucky enough to be there on a Sunday and there was a ceremony at the church next door. The church is also accessible for a visit. At the bottom of the hill, just before the castle, there is free municipal parking.

Linlithgow Palace is well worth a visit. If based in Edinburgh, it is approximately a 20 minute train ride and then around a five minute walk to reach the palace. I spent approximately 2 hours exploring. There is a small gift shop in the entrance and one toilet at the palace. There is a lot of walking to do and steps so in my opinion quite a physical visit. For a gentler visit there is a loch in the grounds and worth a stroll around. It has a very peaceful feel to it. I very much enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend it.

Stop here first for a quieter, more immersive castle experience. Still undergoing some renovations and upgrades, this castle is spooky, dreary, festive and airy all at once. Picture yourself in the dungeon, climb the stairs to the lookouts! Very accommodating staff, and easy access. If you have Historic Scotland Pass this one is covered.

This was a very enjoyable visit to the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. Good information panels and a small museum complement the tour. An audio guide via an app was difficult to download but did not have a detrimental effect on our visit. You will need a degree of physical fitness if you want to get up and down all the towers and floors. The parkland and lake are a nice spot for a walk or picnic. You can park in the grounds for free by going through the main gateway,

On our last days on holiday in Scotland we could not fail to visit this majestic palace. Setting also from the novel Outlander as Leoch Prison. It is immense, we arrived almost at closing time, and with very few people it was almost scary, but we loved it, Top-rated we have visited!! See if they can finish restoring a part they have left!! For us, a hidden gem that you cannot miss!!!

Palace is in the centre of the very pleasant town of Linlithgow. Only about 5mins from train station & there is parking at venue or in town. Very interesting visit. Learned a lot about early Scottish history. The palace is a ruin but is well preserved so you get a good idea of how the rooms looked. Lovely grounds & Linlithgow loch a bonus. Self guided tour but there are plenty of information boards. Would recommend a visit.

Absolutely stunning place, visited on our 30th anniversary & it did not disappoint. The fountain is breathtaking. I'm glad we took a pew in the middle to admire more as we realised we had missed one tower out so went back up. Friendly staff & huge grounds to walk. We also missed the church open hours sadly, which was told is run by volunteers but enjoyed the whole visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit with my grandchildren only to be spoilt by the shop being closed Seemingly it closes on last entry 3.15 never heard of getting a souvenir at the start of visit rather than the end Granddaughter was disappointed as she collects places she’s been Grandson is in to history and a book would’ve been chosen A shame we has such a good day The women wearing outfit was amazing on the history knowledge A money venture lost on Linlithgow palace shop
