Linlithgow Palace
Linlithgow Palace is a late medieval royal palace in Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland. It was a principal residence of Scottish monarchs in the 15th and 16th centuries and the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots; the building was burned out in 1746 and remains today as substantial roofless ruins cared for as a visitor site.

As it stood in 1542
The shape it held in its prime.
A broad rectangular courtyard palace of warm-brown sandstone forming a four-sided range of three to four storeys, with a taller projecting tower at one corner and crenellated parapets with continuous wallwalks; many mullioned windows face a central paved court and the south façade overlooks Linlithgow Loch. At its prime the roofs and chimneys were intact, the outer gatehouse and courtyard fountain stood in the forecourt, and painted stonework adorned parts of the courtyard.
