From its origins as an abbey and a place of religious sanctuary founded in 1128, to its role in the infamous murder of David Rizzio in the bedchamber of Mary, Queen of Scots, the early history of the palace and its grounds covers uncharted territory as well as shedding light on well-known stories. James V's lost Renaissance palace is reimagined using specially commissioned archaeological plans. Almost completely rebuilt in the 1670s, the sumptuous baroque interiors were designed to represent the monarch in Scotland and emphasise Edinburgh's royal and government role. The unlikely residence of a Jacobite court, a Russian Princess, and even a few lions, the Palace later served as a family home to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on their regular visits to Balmoral.
Used in the past for jousting, for medicinal herbs and as a shelter for debtors, the landscape and grounds that surround the Palace continue to be used by the Royal Family to host garden parties and events every year, while the Palace itself serves as the setting for investitures and receptions, as well as welcoming thousands of visitors every year, eager to encounter the richly furnished interiors, renowned works of art and intriguing history.
