Linlithgow Palace is suitable for:
- ceremonies
- photography
Marry amidst the majestic ruins of the palace where Mary Queen of Scots was born. Even now, it’s easy to see why Linlithgow Palace was long a favoured residence of the Stewart monarchs. Beautifully situated overlooking a loch, and with magnificent façades and an ornate courtyard fountain, the palace embodies Renaissance decadence. Completing the picture is the lush parkland around this glorious venue – ideal for wedding photography.
The Undercroft
Capacity: 60 people
The vaulted ceiling gives this room a cosy and atmospheric feel, making it a memorable venue for your special day. The undercroft is situated off the main courtyard of this enchanting Renaissance palace. Wheelchair accessible.
Great Hall (open air)
Capacity: 60 people
Built for James I, the Great Hall is one of the palace’s highlights. Hold your wedding where kings and queens once feasted – royals travelling between Edinburgh and Stirling would stop at Linlithgow for a welcome rest. The grand roofless hall features a magnificent fireplace. Access to the Great Hall is via a staircase.
