The Palace Shop
Perfect for luxury gifts and exclusive merchandise. These include goods inspired by the interiors of the castle’s sumptuous Renaissance royal palace.
Among them is the tapestry range, based on the splendid Hunt of the Unicorn series which decorates the walls of the queen’s audience chamber.
There is also jewellery based on by pieces worn by James V and his queen, Mary of Guise, and a children's range inspired by the lovable Stirling Mice.
