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. The palace was once truly elegant and a welcome stopping-place for the royal family along the busy road linking Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.
