The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

This was one of the residences of the Stewart kings and queens beginning with James I (1406-37). It was destroyed by fire in 1746.

The Montparnasse tower sticks up out of a mesh of blue-grey buildings with their traditional mansards and balconies.

Apart from banging on about mansards and balconies again, I can’t think of anything to say about this photo that I haven’t already said about the previous one.

You can see the graffiti more clearly this time, and the chimney pots. I said something new after all!
