Linlithgow Palace And Culross
Linlithgow Palace (ruin) is the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, and is set in a beautiful lochside location. All the Stuart Kings lived here from 1406 to 1689, as did Cromwell, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and, after the landmark Battle of Culloden, the troops of the Duke of Cumberland stayed at the Palace. Visitors can see the fountain in the centre of the Palace built around 1538 and the fireplace in the Great Hall restored in 1906.
Crossing the River Forth at Kincardine we the visit the enchanting conservation village of Culross, possessing a 400 year old history and an awe-inspiring atmosphere of bygone times. Visitors can explore the Old Town through the cobbled streets as well as see the ancient Mercat Cross (Market Cross).
The tour proceeds back over the Forth via the spectacular Forth Road Bridge with grand views of the famous Victorian rail bridge.
