walking up to Linlithgow Palace (front left), front right is St. Michael's Church |
St. Michael's church, built around the same time as the Palace |
The things on the side of the building are supposed to look like defenses, but they actually do nothing. |
This was the original entrance. Each king that lived here changed a part of the Palace. One of them changed the entrance to make people go though the town to get to the Palace. |
People think that the empty capsels on the sides just above the door had statues of Saints in them and were taken down during the Reformation |
Note the fireplace in the upper middle part of this wall. There were 3 floors here at one point. |
The king actually slept here, in a "closet" off his chamber room. |
