Linlithgow Palace, Midlothian


The ruins of the Palace on the edge of Linlithgow town.
A favourite home of Mary Queen of Scots who was born here in 1542.
In the background you can see the main Glasgow to Edinburgh railway line
and the Union Canal is set into the hillside above it.
It's not a distorted image, the Palace is built on the side of a hill
which slopes down from right to left in this view.


From a little lower down and further back, just for a change.
The church to the right (with the distinctive spire) is
St Michael's Parish Church of Scotland.

To help locate Linlithgow for those not familiar with the area (and to show
off a little of our image quality) we've added an enlarged section of the top
left horizon of this image which just shows the Forth bridges to the east,
through the haze.
