Edinburgh: Palace of Holyroodhouse

The Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh is a spot where history feels very alive. As the official residence of the King in Scotland, it’s full of royal rooms, portraits, and stories that stretch back centuries. Walking through, I found the contrast between the elegant state apartments and the ruins of Holyrood Abbey really striking. The gardens are another highlight—quiet, spacious, and with views of Arthur’s Seat nearby. What I liked most was how the palace ties together Scotland’s royal past with its present role. If you’re exploring the Royal Mile, this stop is a must for a deeper look at Edinburgh’s heritage. #edinburghtrips
