Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Linlithgow in West Lothian. The chief historic attraction of Linlithgow is the remains of Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of King James V and Mary Queen of Scots, and probably Scotland's finest surviving late medieval secular building. The present palace was started, on an older site, in 1424 by King James I of Scotland. It was burnt in 1746. Linlithgow was also the site of the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge at the western edge of the town. Besides the palace, a second attraction, standing adjacent, is 15th century St. Michael's Church. Many historic buildings line the High Street. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
