Here is the gallery of Queen Elizabeth II.. Closed on Xmas day and Boxing day....


and Her official residence during her visit in Scotland..The former palace of Mary of Scotland before she was executed...

The history of the Palace of Holyroodhouse reaches back almost nine centuries. Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-67), returned to Scotland after the death of her husband Francis II, King of France.

Mary, Queen of Scots spent most of her turbulent life in the Palace - a dramatic and often tragic chapter in the history of the building. She married two of her husbands in the palace.

Her private secretary David Rizzio was murdered in her private apartments by a group led by her husband Lord Darnley, who many believe was jealous of Rizzio's influence over Mary.Under Mary's son James I of England and Scotland (1603-25), the Palace fell into decline. However, it was renovated when James returned to Edinburgh in 1617.
