Linlithgow, West Lothian


The ancient burgh town of Linlithgow in West Lothian

It is well worth taking the opportunity to look round Linlithgow - a special place with its own loch, palace, canal and museum. Walk along the old Linlithgow high street and visit the local independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

Find out about the story of Linlithgow and its growth during the reigns of the Stewart kings of Scotland . Learn about the early trades of the town and something of the life of the towns people.

Explore the extensive terraced garden at the museum or walk through the peel at Linlithgow palace. See the views across Linlithgow town to the historic St Michaels Church dedicated as early as 1242 and the imposing Linlithgow Palace, birthplace, in 1542, of Mary, Queen of Scots.
