busy with boats , windsurfers and anglers . It is possible
to walk all the way around the loch . A flock of swans lives
on the loch . At the moment the park rangers are advising
visitors not to feed the swans because any bread which is
left behind can pass on infections to the swans . The Palace
was the
home of the Stewart kings of
Scotland
and Mary Queen of Scots was born in the Palace .
King David II held court in the Palace in 1343 and in later
years. The Royal House of Stewart started its long
association with the palace at the start of the 15th
century.In 1424 fire destroyed most of Linlithgow and King
James I ordered a program of building work on the palace.
The gateway on the east wall still survives today , although
the ramp and drawbridge have long gone.

was murdered at Perth in 1437 and his son became King James
II when he was just was seven years old .He was not very
interested in the Palace and did not stay there very much.
