The majestic royal palace of the Stewarts at Linlithgow today lies roofless and ruined. Yet the visitor still feels a sense of awe on entering its gates. It was begun by James I in 1424, rising like a phoenix from the flames following a fire that devastated its predecessor. It became a truly elegant pleasure palace, and a welcome stopping-place for the royal family along the busy road linking Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.
