Holyrood House and Scottish Parliament
28 april 2022, Schotland ⋅ ⛅ 46 °F
The grounds of Holyrood House at the bottom of the Royal Mile are beautiful! We also stopped by the Scottish Parliament.

Ah, Holyrood Palace or, as it's formally known, the Palace of Holyroodhouse! Situated at the end of Edinburgh's storied Royal Mile, this isn't just a relic from the past—it's a living, breathing center of Scottish life. Originally established as a monastery in 1128, Holyrood has been the stage for key players in Scotland's rich history, from Mary, Queen of Scots, to Bonnie Prince Charlie. Today, it serves as the Queen's official residence in Scotland, where she performs various state ceremonies and hosts dignitaries. But even when Her Majesty is not in residence, the palace opens its doors to the public. As you walk through the opulent rooms, adorned with intricate tapestries and historic artifacts, you're plunged into stories of power, tragedy, and romance. Don't forget to step outside and explore the peaceful gardens—a lush retreat in the heart of Edinburgh. Whether you're a history aficionado or simply seeking a touch of today's royal life melded with historical grandeur, Holyrood Palace offers an experience that marries Scotland's past and present.Meer informatie

Reiziger You can see "IR5" below the unicorn (the national animal of Scotland, because only a unicorn can defeat a lion). This stands for Iacobus Rex 5, or King James the 5th.

Beating Retreat
24 mei 2022, Schotland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Als wir beim Palace of Holyroodhouse ankamen, war dort die Straße gesperrt! An den Eingängen standen uniformierte Schotten und kontrollieren Eintrittskarten von ankommenden Gästen.
Neugierig reckten wir die Hälse und schlichen uns näher heran. Nach und nach sammelte sich eine immer größer werdende Traube von Menschen, die alle wissen wollten, was hier vor sich ging.
Schließlich kam einer der Uniformierten auf uns zu, drückte uns ein Programmheft in die Hand und ließ uns wissen, dass wir gerne eintreten könnten. 💂
Dem Programm entnahmen wir, dass in nur wenigen Minuten ein "Beating Retreat" der "Combined Cadet Force in Scotland" stattfinden würde.
Gespannt mischten wir uns unter die Zuschauer und genossen das unverhoffte Programm.Meer informatie

Il palazzo era molto carino. Purtroppo non potevamo scattare nessun tipo di foto all'interno, era stato messo il divieto. C'erano le stanze dei reali, varie medaglie e ritratti, tutto era molto curato ma, ripeto, non potendo fare alcun tipo di fotografia, rimarrà impresso nella memoria per quanto possibile.
Il tour è durato poco, subito dopo siamo passate ai giardini interni dove bisognava fare attenzione a non camminare sull'erba. Il vantaggio era che il percorso era prestabilito quindi non ci si poteva perdereMeer informatie

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Aan het eind van de Royal Mile ligt het Palace of Holyroodhouse, dit is het kasteel waar de koning kan verblijven als tie in Edinburgh is. Inmiddels is het een beetje gaan regenen🤢, maar gelukkig niet hard en ook niet heel lang. Het is nu ook minder koud. We hebben even door het hek gekeken en hebben lekker rondgeneusd in de Queens Gallery waar allerlei leuke 'koninklijke' hebbedingetjes te koop zijn tegen waanzinnig koninklijke prijzen. 🙃
Vervolgens teruggelopen naar Victoria Street waar we lekker vroeg (17.30 uur), zalm hebben gegeten. Het was weer een topdag vandaag!! De tijd vliegt echt voorbij!!Meer informatie

Did the hop on hop off buss today. Took the complete circle then round again to the Palace of Holyrood. It was a great tour and wonderful to see the actual place where The Queen stays when she is “in town”. Not only does she and the Royal Family stay in the castle, it has a very old Abbey connected. A place where Robert the Bruce held court in something like 1580. I recommend the audio tour. No photos inside.Meer informatie

Love it! Still my favourite castle/palace tour to date. There's just so much to see and take it. It's such an interesting history. We actually were able to turn our passes into year long passes as well so I can go back for free whenever I want! Yay! Maybe I'll just go there to study this term.Meer informatie

Der Palace of Holyrood markiert das Ende der Royal Mile und ist bis heute die offizielle Residenz der britischen Königin, wenn sie in Schottland ist. Im Inneren kann man die öffentlich zugänglichen Prunkräume besichtigen, wo heute Staatsgäste empfangen werden. Die berühmteste Bewohnerin war aber die Königin von Schottland Maria Stuart.
Die königlichen Gemächer von Maria Stuart bieten einen wunderbaren Blick in lebendige Geschichte.Meer informatie

Palace of Holyrood

At the foot of The Royal Mile, it’s the residence of the queen when she’s in Scotland on official business. (She resides at Balmoral in the Highlands for leisure). That said, this is a lovely place in an even lovelier settings; nestled in a lovely glen surrounded by the absolutely spectacular craigs of an ancient volcano. Parts of it are open to the public when the Queen is not in.Meer informatie
