Fix this text“Of all the palaces so fair....
Fix this textIn Scotland far beyond compare."
Fix this textLINLITHGOW PALACE was built on the site of an older
Fix this textcastle which was demolished by the order of Robert Bruce,
Fix this textwho hated it; for it had been one of the chief strongholds of
Fix this textEdward Fs alien dominion. Before him Scottish kings had often
Fix this textdwelt within its walls, which even then were of immemorial age.
Fix this textIt was soon rebuilt, and we read that an election of a king by the
Fix this textnobles was held in Linlithgow Castle in 1370. Forty years later
Fix this textthe palace and castle were burnt, and once more they were rebuilt,
Fix this textand twice they became part of the dowers of Scottish queens.
Fix this textJames V was born at Linlithgow, and did much to beautify and
Fix this textenlarge it, and hither he brought his queen, Mary of Guise. It
Fix this textwas here, too, that Mary Queen of Scots was born. Here, too, the
Fix this textRegent Murray was murdered. In 1617 Mary’s son, James VI of
Fix this textScotland (and I of England), visited Linlithgow and was right
Fix this textloyally welcomed. After this period of splendour the castle was
Fix this textallowed to decay, but in the '45 it was still secure enough to form
Fix this textthe camp of General Hawley’s English troops, to one of whom
Fix this textthe third destruction of Linlithgow was due. Some carelessness-
Fix this textsaid to have been a fire too large for the hearth —caused a con-
Fix this textflagration which could not be checked. Queen Victoria came to
Fix this textthe town in 1842 and was anxious to see the castle where Mary
Fix this textQueen of Scots was born. But darkness had set in before she
Fix this textcould carry out that plan. Among the ruins is still shown Queen
Fix this textMargaret’s Bower, which is named after Margaret Tudor, wife of
Fix this textJames IV. When he went out on the disastrous expedition which
Fix this textcost him the Battle of Flodden she mounted to this turret and
Fix this textwatched the king depart. Of its beauties Sir Walter Scott sings;
Fix this text“Of all the palaces so fair....ln Scotland far beyond compare,
Fix this textLinlithgow is excelling.”
