Mostly in ruins and minus a roof, Linlithgow Palace is a shadow of its former glory but still manages to convey a sense of awe and history. Built in 1424 by James I, it was largely used as a royal nursery for James V (born 1512), Mary Queen of Scots (born 1542) and Princess Elizabeth (born 1596). But when James VI moved the royal court to London following his coronation as James I of England in 1603, the palace fell into disrepair.
