Holyrood Palace
In Edinburgh, Scotland. The Palace itself is kind of neat and nice inside..., unfortunately we weren't allow to tape it, so this is basically from the outside, by the gardens and into the remains of the Holyrood Abbey....
Palace of Holyroodhouse - Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The official residence of The Queen in Scotland is the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Translated to mean the house of the holy cross, the Palace takes its name from the ancient abbey, founded here in 1128. It stands at the bottom of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur's Seat, and is open to visitors throughout the year.

Places to see in ( Edinburgh - UK ) Palace of Holyroodhouse
The Palace of Holyroodhouse, commonly referred to as Holyrood Palace, is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Located at the bottom of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, at the opposite end to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace has served as the principal residence of the Kings and Queens of Scots since the 16th century, and is a setting for state occasions and official entertaining.
Queen Elizabeth spends one week in residence at Holyrood Palace at the beginning of each summer, where she carries out a range of official engagements and ceremonies. The 16th century Historic Apartments of Mary, Queen of Scots and the State Apartments, used for official and state entertaining, are open to the public throughout the year, except when members of the Royal Family are in residence.
Palace of Holyroodhouse as it stands today was built between 1671–1678 in a quadrangle layout, approximately 230 feet (70 m) from north to south and 230 feet (70 m) from east to west, with the exception of the 16th-century north-west tower built by James V. Sir William Bruce designed the 3-storey plus attic Baroque palace for Charles II upon the restoration of the monarchy.
The gardens of the palace extend to some 10 acres (4.0 ha), set within the much larger Holyrood Park. In the 16th-century a privy garden was located to the north of the palace, accessed via a wooden gallery from the north-west tower. This was removed in the 19th century when Prince Albert took an interest in the grounds, forming a new carriage drive to the north to avoid the Canongate slums and laying out the garden in its present form.
The Palace of Holyroodhouse, along with Buckingham Palace Garden and Windsor Castle, was excavated on 25–28 August 2006 as part of a special edition of Channel 4's archaeology series Time Team. The archaeologists uncovered part of the cloister of Holyrood Abbey, running in line with the existing abbey ruins, and a square tower associated with the 15th-century building works of James IV was discovered.

Experience the grandeur, splendour and history of Britain’s royal heritage from the air in this exquisite film showing the great castles, palaces, cathedrals and more which have shaped the British Monarchy.
From the producers of BBC TV's Wainwright Walks and Railway Walks, and the exceptional DVD series Britain from the Air, comes a new film charting Royal Britain.
Stunning aerial photography, from Skyworks’s advanced high-definition camera, offers unrivalled views of the most historically-important and landscape-defining royal buildings and locations across Britain.
Informed narration guides you through the history as you enjoy the breathtaking aerial footage, discovering unique views of The Palace, and a bird's-eye view of where the Queen lives.
The kings and queens, princes and princesses, royal dukes and duchesses, as well as countless illegitimate children, have all played a part in shaping Royal Britain.
Many of the places including castles, palaces and houses where historic events took place still exist to connect the thread of Royalty from the first century to today.
Royal Britain from the Air starts with a summary of what we will see and how far we will travel across the country. The places this royal DVD visits have seen murder, romance, politics, imprisonment, tragedy, execution and celebration. In the landscape battles were fought for the crown and dynasties changed. For centuries Wales and Scotland fought its larger neighbour England until eventually the Britain we know today was formed.
Royal Britain from the Air tells the story of monarchy through the places where the actual events took place and take a journey through time to the present day.
Among the historic buildings and landscapes featured are Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, Balmoral, Sandringham, the Tower of London, Hampton Court, Blenheim Palace, War of the Roses battleground Bosworth Field and The Wash, where King John lost the crown jewels!

Places to see in ( Edinburgh - UK ) Royal Mile
Places to see in ( Edinburgh - UK ) Royal Mile
The Royal Mile is the name given to a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. The name of Royal Mile was first used in W M Gilbert's Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century (1901), and was further popularised as the title of a guidebook, published in 1920.
The thoroughfare, as the name suggests, Royal Mile is approximately one Scots mile long and runs downhill between two significant locations in the history of Scotland, namely Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The streets of Royal Mile which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town.
Retreating ice sheets, many millennia ago, deposited their glacial debris behind the hard volcanic plug of the castle rock on which Edinburgh Castle stands, resulting in a distinctive crag and tail formation. Running eastwards from the crag (i.e. the castle rock), the Royal Mile sits upon the ridge of the tail which slopes gently down to Holyrood Palace. Steep closes (or alleyways) run between the many tall lands (or tenement buildings) off the main thoroughfare. The route runs from an elevation of 42 meters above sea level at the palace, to 109 meters at the castle, for an average gradient of 4.1%.
The Castle Esplanade was laid out as a parade ground, in 1753, using spoil from the building of the Royal Exchange (now the City Chambers). It was formalised in 1816 when it was widened and provided with decorative railings and walls. The Esplanade with its several monuments has been A-listed by Historic Scotland. It is the venue of the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo at which time specially designed temporary grandstands are erected. Cannonball House is notable for a cannonball lodged in the wall, often said to have been accidentally fired from the Castle but which actually marks the elevation of Comiston springs, three miles to the south of the Castle, which fed a cistern on Castlehill, one of the first piped water supplies in Scotland.
Today, the Royal Mile is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions. During the annual Edinburgh Festival, the High Street becomes crowded with tourists, entertainers and buskers. Parliament Square is at the heart of Scotland's legal system, being the home of both the High Court of Justiciary and the Court of Session. In January 2012, the City of Edinburgh Council held a summit with residents, traders and other interested parties to discuss the issue of tourist merchandise, described by some as 'Tartan Tat', taking over the street, and how the Royal Mile can be made into a five-star visitor attraction.
This street is the short approach to Holyrood Palace at the foot of the Canongate. One of the buildings on the north side was the house of Lucky Spence, a notorious brothel madam, remembered in Allan Ramsay's poem, Lucky Spence's Last Advice. On the south side is the Queen's Gallery, used to exhibit items in the Royal collection, in the shell of the former Holyrood Free Church and Duchess of Gordon's School. There are also the remains of the gatehouse of Holyrood Palace built by James IV, with a copy of the royal coat-of-arms of James V set in the wall.
Beyond the crossroads, the Royal Mile continues down the Canongate, meaning literally the canons' way when it was used in former times by the Augustinian canons of Holyrood Abbey. The street continues downhill past Moray House (now the main academic offices of Moray House School of Education of the University of Edinburgh), the old Canongate Tolbooth (now a museum of social history called The People's Story), the Kirk of the Canongate (the Canongate's parish church and a thriving congregation of the Church of Scotland) and the new Scottish Parliament Building to Holyrood Palace and the ruined abbey. Until 1856 the Canongate was not merely a street, but the name of the surrounding burgh, separate from Edinburgh and outside the Flodden Wall.
