Linlithgow Palace, located in the town of Linlithgow, Scotland, is a significant historical site and former royal residence. Construction began in the early 15th century under the reign of James I of Scotland, and the palace was completed by subsequent monarchs. It served as a favored retreat for the Scottish royal family, including James V and Mary, Queen of Scots, who was born there in 1542. The palace, renowned for its stunning architecture and picturesque setting by Linlithgow Loch, is a prime example of Scottish Renaissance architecture.
