Palace of Holyroodhouse

Located precisely at the end of the Royal Mile the Holyrood Place has beeb a Royal residence since the 16th century, and the original Abbey was founded in 1128 (which is still on site). It is absolutely a must-see during your time in Edinburgh, being a perfect example of a working palace. But do not compare it to the Buckingham Palace in London, since those two are completely different in all aspects but one, which is it being a monarch residence. Some rooms are filled up to the brim with historic events, and are featured in the famous paintings. One of which is the bedchambers of Mary Queen of Scots where her dear friend was killed right in front of her (there is also a spot which is claimed to be bloodstained with his blood where his body was left). Overall immersive experience guaranteed and I highly recommend visiting this palace. Don't forget to visit the Holyrood Abbey as well, as it is one of the oldest places in all Edinburgh and is very authentic in its ruins.

Very interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the royal family and see some great docorations. Self_guided audio tour was nicely put together and free with the entrance. I love the backdrop of Arthur's seat and the ruin of the chapel.

excellent chance to know the palace more and who rules scotland, would be great for tourists to pay a visit

#Follow me to see the world# Holyrood Palace, built in 1498, faces the magnificent Arthur's Seat. The Baroque palace has luxurious and exquisite rooms. Whether it is the plaster-carved ceiling, the knitted brocade murals, or the clothes of the portraits, the elegance of royal court life is everywhere. The ruined monastery next to it has a sense of vicissitudes of ruins, but it is not lacking in beauty. The design of the 15th century still feels beautiful and gorgeous today. In comparison, there is still a certain gap in our creativity and artistic beauty. Follow the audio guide to learn more about the history of this palace and the legendary life of Mary Queen of Scots.

Palace of Holyroodhouse. This exquisite Baroque palace is closely linked to the history of Scotland. It was once the palace of the Scottish royal family, with the palace of Queen Mary and the place where her secretary was brutally murdered. There are also the ruins of the monastery and beautiful gardens. Now it is the palace of the British royal family. Holyrood Park connected to the palace also has Edinburgh's famous highland-Arthur's Seat. It is forbidden to take photos inside the palace, and the voice navigation is free. Transportation: Walk along the Royal Mile to the east end to the palace.

Holyrood Palace ~ The royal residence of the Queen of England when she came to Scotland. There have been many events in the history of Holyrood Palace, the most famous of which is Mary Queen of Scots, known as the most beautiful woman at the time. She lost her throne in a rebellion shortly after her third marriage and was finally executed for plotting the throne of England. The park behind the palace is also worth seeing. It is very large and beautiful. Next to the park is a dead volcano shaped like a lion. The top of the mountain is called King Arthur's Seat. I didn't have enough time this time and couldn't go hiking.

After leaving Edinburgh Castle, walk along the Royal Mile to the end of Holyrood Palace. Be sure to use the audio guide to listen and watch slowly, and feel the luxury and romance of the royal family. It is worth a visit here, you can see Arthur's Seat from a distance, and there is a dilapidated church at the end, which is very special and very artistic for taking pictures.

The audio guide is pretty good—filled with a ton of interesting history. The grounds and the ruins of the abbey are beautiful. It’s kind of expensive considering it’s mostly just an audio guide of a building tax payers pay for, but the guides are helpful and I’d say it’s probably worth the money. Castle of Edinburgh is the far superior site, so definitely don’t go here instead, but if you have extra time in the city, it’s worthwhile. Note before you go: you can’t take photos inside the building.
