Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh

Great place to visit and excellent audio tour included. Nice to get so close to some of the furnishings and amazing tapestries which often in National Trust properties you are kept well away from. Sadly because of the time of year the gardens were closed which would have added to the experience. Well worth a visit though

Beautiful palace that’s still in use. Excellent audio visual tour that was easy to use and you can go at your own pace and choose whether or not to watch all the content. I would go again just for the architecture but the history, art, and artifacts are great. There are lots of castles to see in Scotland and this was one of my favorites. Don’t forget to tour the gardens.

I enjoyed my visit here very much. The interactive tour guide provides you with a clever mix of interesting facts and stories and also some personal contributions about Holyroodhouse from members of the royal family, such as Prince Charles and Princess Ann. All three - the palace with the remains of the abbey and the garden and the further surrounding, the great landscape make this place to an exceptional experience. No wonder this place is still used by the Queen for official ceremonies and entertaining.

My adult son and I really enjoyed our visit on 6/10/22. Beautiful and fascinating place. The tour inside, assisted with the self guided audio, was fantastic! Recommend purchasing tickets in advance. Allow some time for tea at the Cafe.

Really a wonderful place to visit. Knowing that this castle is still used today is very cool. Seeing things the queen uses while she is there is so interesting! Really loved walking through everything related to Mary Queen of Scots. The cafe was quite lovely as well! The abbey was an added bonus, as was the incredible views of Arthur’s Seat
