🏰 The magnificent Palace of Holyroodhouse has been the Sovereign’s official residence in Scotland since the 16th century. Originally founded as an Augustinian monastery in 1128, it has witnessed centuries of Royal history, including Mary, Queen of Scots’ turbulent reign.
Each summer during Royal Week, The King continues the tradition of celebrating Scottish culture and achievement through engagements across the country, using the Palace as his base. The building remains a powerful symbol of the enduring connection between the Monarchy and Scotland, welcoming thousands of visitors year-round who explore its historic State Apartments, Royal Collection, and beautiful gardens.
