Holyroodhouse Palace

Palace of Holyrood House
The Palace of Holyroodhouse, or informally Holyrood Palace, founded as a monastery by David I of Scotland in 1128, has served as the principal residence of the Kings and Queens of Scotland since the 15th century. The Palace stands in Edinburgh at the bottom of the Royal Mile.

Holyrood is an anglicisation of the Scots Haly Ruid (Holy Cross).

It dates from 1498 when it was built by James IV, and it has been closely linked with royalty ever since.The Palace is located on the site of Holyrood Abbey, an Augustine monastery dating from1128. The Palace is closely associated with Mary Queen of Scots. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is now the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II when she is in Scotland, and she is usually in residence for a few weeks in May and July each year.
When the Queen is not there parts of the palace are sometimes open to visitors with guided tours available. You can see several rooms in the State Apartments. The palace is surrounded by the Holyrood Park.
