Linlithgow Palace is one of my favorites, and it's easy to get to from Edinburgh. This was the great show-palace of King James I of Scotland, son of King Robert III. He rebuilt it after a great fire destroyed the manor house that was there. King James brought a more English style of court to Scotland, after his return from being held by the English. In his captivity, King James learned a lot about court life in England, the arts, military skills, etc., and it is also where he met the love is his life, Joan Beaufort, who became his queen.
Here endeth the lecture.
