Holyrood Palace

Der Palast Palace of Holyrood House oder Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh ist die Residenz des britischen Königshauses in Schottland. Er befindet sich am östlichen Ende der Royal Mile, die von dort bis hinauf zum Edinburgh Castle führt.

Im Jahr 1128 wurde an dieser Stelle die Abtei Holyrood Abbey gebaut. Das einstige Gästehaus der Abtei wurde schrittweise ausgebaut; es ist u.a. ein Wohnturm im Nordwesten der Anlage in den Jahren 1528 bis 1532 entstanden. Der Palace of Holyrood House wurde in seiner heutigen Form im 17. Jahrhundert erbaut. In die Geschichte ging das Schloss durch seine zeitweilige Bewohnerin Maria Stuart ein.
