West Lothian

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Scotland

Shot at Linlithgow Palace, Scotland, this was once a magnificent palace, built and lived in by successive Stewart kings and where Mary Queen of Scots was born. Though in ruins now, it is still a very impressive site.

The great hall was a magnificent room where banquets, plays and lavish entertainment took place. Guests would sit at benches at long tables ranged up and down the hall.

I'm hoping to back here soon to do a lot more shooting both inside at outside, most definitely worth a visit.
