Well worth a visit. Very impressive place and surrounding area.
Just fabulous. Friendly staff, great views, so much history, the sheer scale of the place..... Must try and come back for the Scotch Hop in the summer.
We loved this palace. They focus on conservation over restoration. They are continuously working on maintaining what is remaining. It is hauntingly beautiful. A definite must see.
A peaceful and beautiful palace.. helpful and friendly staff. I think we picked a good day to visit because it wasn't busy.. a palace for imagination
Such a shame it is not better taken care of, though some restoration is on-going.
It is very emotional for me to be at places where Mary Queen of Scott's went.
It is definitely worth a visit.

Great place for an adventure, described as a maze and yes it was. So many places to see. Although some was closed off from the public due to having work done. You never felt like you had been short changed
I have never been inside the Palace until my visit. Very interesting and great place to see. I would have liked to have had some information boards around as I felt there were a lot of places you went to, and there was no information around. Really enjoyed looking at the delicate details in the stone carvings. Especially the fountain. There are lots of spiral steps and lots of bits to explore. If you're not afraid of heights like I am, then a visit to the top of the tower is very much so a must. The views are amazing.
Wow, Linlithgow Palace has become an instant favourite. Our first visit and expecting to spend about an hour here, quickly turned into 2. The castle itself is famous for being the birth place of Mary Stuart (Mary Queen of Scots). The Palace was fun to explore with many rooms, passageways and stairs. It was also quite modestly lit and some of these areas being darker really added to the atmosphere. Staff were fantastic and were able to answer all questions we had. Overall, an amazing place to visit.
Nice place to sit and relax on the benches. Surrounded by cafes. Car park nearby. Flowers/ hanging baskets look well cared for.
Historic centre of the town commonly called the cross as the area leads to the Palace, lochside and high street. This part of town is kept very tidy and showcases how historic the area is.
There has been a Well at the Cross since at least the 16th century. The present structure built in 1807 " is said to be an exact copy of its predecessors built in 1628 and 1668. It was created by a one-handed stonemason.Robert Gray, who worked with a mallet, strapped to his handless arm, for a cost of £315

Beautiful fountain and lovely little city.
Centre point of historic town and at the bottom of the road leading to the palace which is well worth a visit. Linlithgow is a lovely town with nice eateries, independent shops and great walks.
Apart from the Cross Well, go to Linlithgow it is steeped in history, a gem in West Lothian's crown. The town itself has some lovely individual shops, great cafes/bar, great chippies. Beecraigs not far away either..u can fill your day easily in this great place, young & not so young. Give it a go u wont regret it.
Very nice little square, especially in the sun
Lovely relaxing area with multiple café restaurants all around
Load of coffee and tea shops around this square. The well is also very close to the palace. The well itself does not serve water. It looks more like a little monument. No benches but still very nice. It demarks the heart of Linlithgow.
