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.
