About Edinburgh - Palace of Holyroodhouse
The Palace of Holyroodhouse, Her Majesty The Queen's official residence in Scotland, stands at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur's Seat. The Royal Apartments are infused with centuries of history and have witnessed many important events in Scotland's rich history. The Palace is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots and as the setting for the most dramatic episodes in her reign.
The Palace of Holyroodhouse has never been as busy as it is today.
Standing as it does at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, it is very much a working Royal residence. It functions as the centre of national life during The Queen's stay in Scotland as well as at other times of the year.
Members of the Royal Family frequently stay in the Palace when carrying out engagements in Scotland. During The Queen's Holyrood week, which usually runs from the end of June to the beginning of July, Her Majesty carries out a wide range of official engagements in Scotland.
So come and explore the history of the Palace of Holyroodhouse!
