Overview
The magnificent ruin of a great Royal Palace sitting beside Linlithgow Loch a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens from James I to Mary, Queen of Scots. Later, we continue North to Stirling Castle, one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland. Several Scottish Monarchs have been crowned at Stirling, including Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1542. Back on your luxury VIP Class minibus we head East, towards one of our ancient Capitals, and your visit and tour of Dunfermline Abbey and Palace. After your visit, we continue to our lunch stop and visit to Falkland Palace. Set in the heart of a conservation village, this partly restored Renaissance palace is the perfect place to while away an afternoon. Part of the Palace is in ruins but the reconstructed rooms are packed with 17th-century Flemish tapestries, elaborate painted ceilings and antique furnishings. Heading South our final visit of the day is Aberdour Castle, one of the two oldest standing castles in Scotland.
