The Palace of Holyroodhouse, located in Edinburgh, is Her Majesty The Queen's official residence in Scotland. This volume, the first official history of the Palace, traces the history of the building from its origins as a twelfth-century abbey, to its role today as royal residence and museum. Throughout its storied history, the Palace has served many purposes: It has been the unlikely residence of Jacobites, a Russian princess, and even a few lions. The Palace later served as a family home to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on their way to Balmoral and is now used by The Queen each summer to host garden parties and investitures.
