At the very end of the Royal Mile, right beneath Arthur’s Seat, you’ll find the Palace of Holyroodhouse. For centuries it’s been at the heart of Scottish history. Mary Queen of Scots lived here, dramatic royal scandals unfolded, and today it remains the King’s official residence in Scotland. And as a little bonus, your palace ticket also includes entry to the ruins of Holyrood Abbey, a 12th-century monastery that now stands open to the sky. Don't forget to add it to your Scotland’s bucketlist! .
